Cincinnati has won seven of 10 games and has moved to third in the National League Central.In the win, Hunter Greene dominated on the mound. He earned a no-decision after striking out 12 and walking none over 6.

Nipping at the heels of moving into the final wild-card spot in the National League, the Cincinnati Reds will go for a three-game series sweep of the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night in Anaheim,

All things considered, Terry Francona probably couldn't have asked for a better start to his team's key nine-game road trip.

The Los Angeles Angels are proof that having talented players is only one part of team success. The roster is highlighted by future Hall of Famer Mike Trout, 2025 All-Star pitcher Yusei Kikuchi, and power-hitting outfielder Taylor Ward (29 homers, 92 RBI), but they’re still 7.5 games out of an AL Wild Card spot with five-and-a-half weeks left.

Cincinnati took the second game of the series, 6-4, as Hunter Greene recorded 12 strikeouts to negate Jo Adel l's two late homers for Los Angeles. The Reds have a chance to sweep the Angels with a victory today as they continue their climb to an NL Wild Card spot (1.0 game back of the Mets).

The Cincinnati Reds open the toughest remaining MLB schedule with three this weekend against the Brewers. They're 1/2 game out of playoff position.

The Atlanta Braves recently claimed outfielder Jake Fraley off waivers after the 30-year-old was designated for assignment by the Cincinnati Reds.

The Cincinnati Reds endured another roller coaster of a week as they played .500 ball in six games. The teams they are chasing for the NL wild card also had interesting weeks.
