Reds’ Playoff Hopes Hang in the Balance | Cincinnati Reds News

The Reds’ playoff dreams are hanging by a thread after a brutal 5-3 loss to the D-backs, collapsing from a 3-0 lead in the sixth. It’s deja vu — last year they were in this exact spot, fading fast in Arizona, but clawed their way back. Now, with 31 games left and nine behind the final wild card spot, history says it’s still possible — if they can string together wins. Their schedule is brutal, especially the upcoming homestand against the Padres, where a sweep might be their only shot. Offense is sputtering, so pitching — led by Andrew Abbott, who battled through but couldn’t escape a seventh-inning jam — will have to carry them once again.
