The Reds have had a rollercoaster season so far, with moments of brilliance overshadowed by periods of struggle. However, their last game against the New York Yankees showcased their resilience. Despite a 5-4 loss on July 2nd, there were positive takeaways that suggest the Reds are on an upward trajectory. Their pitching staff managed to hold off one of baseball's most potent offenses, indicating that when dialed in, they can compete with any team.


A closer look at recent games reveals a pattern; when the Reds' bats come alive, they're nearly unstoppable. On June 29th against St. Louis Cardinals, despite suffering errors that led to runs for their opponents, they amassed 13 hits and scored nine runs. This offensive outburst was not an isolated incident but rather indicative of what this team is capable when everything clicks.

Against the Rockies, who have had their own set of challenges this season, it's crucial for CIN's hitters to maintain this aggressive approach at bat. The key will be converting scoring opportunities into runs and capitalizing on any mistakes made by COL's pitchers.


Defensively speaking, minimizing errors will be paramount for CIN in securing victory over COL. In past games where CIN has struggled defensively; it has often correlated with unfavorable outcomes. Therefore tightening up defensively could very well be the linchpin in turning potential losses into wins.
