Room to grow, but the floor is solid. A 5-2 run over 7 games keeps things pointed up. Add in took last night by 2. That matters.

Reds News

The Cincinnati Reds are reeling after a tough week that culminated in a painful 0-7 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, leaving them with a dismal -13 run differential over the past seven days. The injury scare surrounding Spencer Steer only adds to the team's woes, as he left yesterday's game due to right wrist pain after an awkward swing. While Chase Burns aims to build on his impressive five scoreless innings since his contract extension, the looming trade deadline casts a shadow over the roster. With several key players on the injured list, the anticipated fire sale may not play out as boldly as fans hoped. As they enter an essential matchup against the Cardinals again, the Reds must find a spark amidst their struggles or risk further igniting the fire of discontent among their dedicated supporters.
