On July 13 against the Milwaukee Brewers, they showcased their offensive capabilities with 12 hits leading to 6 runs, demonstrating that when they click, they can be formidable opponents. However, consistency has been their Achilles' heel. Just a day before that game, on July 12, despite amassing another 12 hits and scoring 5 runs against the Brewers again, it wasn't enough to secure victory due to defensive lapses.

This was starkly evident in their game on July 11 against the New York Mets where despite six hits; they failed to bring any runners home. This inefficiency at converting chances into scores could be detrimental when facing a team like the Reds.
