Reds Struggle to Stay Alive | Cincinnati Reds News

The Reds’ playoff hopes take a hit after a brutal 7-2 loss to the Nationals, snapping their earlier momentum and dropping them to last in the division. Their offense sputtered again, producing just one extra-base hit — a double — despite an early lead. Brady Singer battled back after shaky innings but couldn’t carry the team without offensive support. Up next: a tough road trip to Chicago, where Nick Lodolo returns from injury and they’ll face former Red Luis Castillo — a pitcher they’ve beaten before. With a 56-61 record, the Reds need consistent offense to claw their way back into contention. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
