Now keep that momentum going against MIN, @STL, NYY, SDP, and @BOS, and @PHI over these next 3 weeks.
Getting a positive W-L record across that brutal stretch will be huge for the Reds going into the last week against the lowly Marlins and Rockies before the ASB and put them into the driver's seat for the WC.

They're definitely giving fans a reason to be optimistic. Elly is scorching hot (1.281 OPS in June), Friedl has an .868 OPS in June, McLain is finally rebounding with a .758 OPS in June, Trevino has remained solid when given ABs (1.019 OPS in just 21 AB in June), Stephenson is up at .840 OPS in June, Fraley is solid at .745 for the month, and CES, while slowing down a bit, basically won the Arizona series all by himself.

If Hays and Marte come back and get Joe and Hampson out of the clubhouse, and maybe a trade deadline deal for another bat, we could be cooking.
