Reds Struggle as Offense Stalls

The Reds are in freefall, hitting rock bottom since May with a brutal 13-26 record and five straight series losses — their offense is barely scraping by, especially at home where they’re batting just .217, and even worse with runners in scoring position. Manager Francona admits it’s not lack of effort, but just not clicking at the plate. Without star shortstop Elly De La Cruz (out since late May), and with no multi-game wins since late May, the team’s desperate for a spark — and outfielder Noelvi Marte, who’s homered in every game of their last series, might just be the answer they need. Now they face the Mets hoping to finally turn things around. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
