After a rough stretch where they lost 9 of 11 games, the Cincinnati Reds managed to regain their momentum with a decisive 7-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Manager Terry Francona emphasized simplicity at the plate to improve performance. This victory sparked a winning streak against the Cleveland Guardians in the Ohio Cup, with standout performances from Will Benson. The Reds are now poised for a potential sweep with confident pitcher Andrew Abbott starting in the final game of the series.
The team cleared the air that day, with manager Terry Francona reportedly emphasizing all the simple, straightforward things the club needed to do with the bat to get back to their winning ways.
Momentum's still there. The Reds, led by Will Benson's dinger barrage against his former club, took Friday's contest 5-4 and slugged their way to a 4-1 win on Saturday evening, too.
Now, they'll send the red hot Andrew Abbott to the mound on Sunday afternoon with hopes they can sweep their Ohio brethren right out of Great American Ball Park.
Cleveland will counter with righty Luis Ortiz, who's pitched to a pseudocromulent 4.78 ERA and 1.36 WHIP through 43.1 IP so far this year.
