Cincinnati Reds

The Reds began an 11-game road trip with a sweep of the Los Angeles Angels last week, but have since dropped the first two games of a four-game set against the Diamondbacks. Nick Martini and Will Benson drove in four runs apiece on Friday night and Elly De La Cruz has contributed power and speed to the middle of Cincinnati's lineup. On their current road trip, the Reds are battling some injuries and TJ Friedl, Matt McLain and Spencer Steer have been consistent at the plate. Graham Ashcraft will be making his 25th start of the season on Sunday with a 7-8 record, 4.84 ERA and 1.38 WHIP. Prior to Saturday's game, the Reds were 36-29 with the results not available at press time. With a power ranking of 21, Cincinnati have an average of 4.81 points scored and 4.96 points allowed per game. They currently have a 67-63 record.
