The Reds lost the opening game of their four-city road trip to first-place Cleveland. The loss means a split in the 4-game inter-Ohio series, leaving the Ohio Cup in northern Ohio. Although last year Cleveland swept the four games with the Reds, so there’s that.
The Reds are now 5-10 in interleague games with series left against the Yankees and Red Sox. The Reds next travel to New York for two games against the Bronx Bombers. The Reds split two games with the Yankees in early May.
The Reds are in line for the fourth pick in next summer’s amateur draft.
