Reds News

After a disappointing 3-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, the Cincinnati Reds are facing a crisis as they sit at 31-33, with a dismal 2-5 record over the last week and a staggering run differential of -17. Andrew Abbott delivered a quality start, but the bullpen's struggles were highlighted in a pivotal seventh inning that unraveled any chance of victory. With Emilio Pagán sidelined, Tejay Antone is stepping up, forcing the Reds to reconsider their bullpen hierarchy. Meanwhile, Matt McLain made headlines by winning three ABS challenges in one at-bat, showcasing his determination in a season that desperately needs bright spots. As the Reds gear up to face the San Diego Padres, every game feels increasingly crucial in their quest to reclaim momentum.

There are, after all, almost 100 games left in the 2026 regular season. For the Cincinnati Reds, though, it’s been five-plus weeks of absolute crud on the baseball field, […]
