Reds in a Skid, Now Face Paul Skenes to Snap Losing Stretch
Cincinnati has dropped to 5 games below .500 after going 2-15 against NL Central foes, with a tough matchup against Pittsburgh's ace looming.
The Reds lost all three games of a home series against the Brewers, falling by scores of 2-1 in extras, 2-0, and 6-5. The losses dropped Cincinnati to 5 games under .500, the worst mark of their season, after peaking at 9 games over .500 in early May. Their 2-15 record against NL Central opponents is a significant drag on their overall standing. The team now faces Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates in their next contest.
