Reds News
The Cincinnati Reds are reeling, suffering through a disheartening three-game losing streak, all decided by a single run, culminating in a walk-off loss to the Chicago Cubs. With a 1-6 record over the last week and a staggering -30 run differential, the team is in dire need of a spark. The injury to closer Emilio Pagán, who is on the IL with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, adds to the woes, but the promotion of Tejay Antone could provide much-needed relief. Brady Singer takes the mound tonight, desperately needing a strong performance to halt this downward spiral. The Reds were once riding high in April, but as the calendar flipped to May, they’ve found themselves struggling to regain their footing while division rivals gain momentum.
