Some of this, some of that. The -10 run differential tells a worse story than the record. But last night's win by 2 is doing a lot of the heavy lifting.

Reds News

The Cincinnati Reds' recent struggles hit a new low with an 8-2 loss to the Dodgers, pushing their record to 71-82 and leaving them with a dismal 2-5 mark over the last week. In the midst of this turmoil, the Reds made a flurry of roster moves, claiming Oswaldo Cabrera from the Yankees to add some versatility to an offense struggling to produce, managing just 3.1 runs per game in the past week. With Spencer Steer heading to the 60-day injured list and Brady Singer's future with the club in jeopardy, the Reds are looking for fresh faces to step up. Meanwhile, Elly De La Cruz continues to shine, showcasing his improved hitting, but it's clear the team needs more than just one hot bat to turn their season around.
