Recent Performance Trends


The Reds have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against the Texas Rangers, they fell short with a score of 3-5 despite playing at home. This loss brought their record to six wins and six losses for the preseason. A closer look at their performance reveals some areas of concern but also spots of promise. Their hitting statistics indicate a struggle at the plate, with an average batting average (.172) and on-base percentage (.265). However, their bullpen showed signs of resilience with a notable strikeout rate (12.6 K/9 innings) despite an elevated ERA (9.0).


In contrast, during another recent match against the Dodgers in Phoenix – Camelback Ranch proved challenging as well; however, they managed to secure two runs on seven hits but ultimately lost by two runs (2-4). This pattern continued in Scottsdale against the Rockies where despite amassing eleven hits and scoring five runs, defensive errors and pitching struggles led to a nine-run defeat.

Looking Ahead


As we turn our attention towards Tempe Diablo Stadium – known for its picturesque setting and hitter-friendly dimensions – both teams will look to exploit these conditions favorably. For the Reds' hitters struggling to find consistency at bat, this venue presents an opportunity for redemption and perhaps a turning point in their preseason campaign.


Pitching will undoubtedly play a crucial role in determining this game's outcome. The Reds' bullpen has shown flashes of brilliance but needs more consistency across innings if they hope to contain an Angels lineup that can capitalize on any given opportunity.
