Season series: Reds lead 1-0
The Reds kicked off the series strong with a 5-4 win Friday. A 2-run HR by SS Santiago Espinal in his lone at-bat took Cincinnati from down 3-2 to up 4-3, and it never lost the lead after.
The Reds snapped a 2-game losing streak with the victory. That losing streak came on the back of a 4-game winning streak in which 3 of those wins came in a sweep over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Cincinnati is 6-4 over its last 10 yet still sits last in the NL Central. It is 30-27 against the spread (ATS) on the season.
