Reds News
The Cincinnati Reds continue to spiral, suffering a disappointing 5-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants, marking their second consecutive defeat in this critical series. With a lack of offensive production, the team has stumbled to a 2-5 record over the past week, and their struggles have been magnified with their next set of games being the toughest within the league. Sal Stewart's hopes for the NL Rookie of the Year are now overshadowed by another rising star, while the demotion of Austin Hendrick highlights a painful draft misstep from 2020. On a positive note, Emilio Pagán has returned to form as a reliable closer, but the Reds need more than individual performances, they need to find a way to score and rally, or they risk a dismal finish to the season.

The Cincinnati Reds visit the Chicago Cubs for a 3-game series starting Friday.
