Arizona Diamondbacks vs Cincinnati Reds
7:10 PM ET, September 15, 2010
Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati, Ohio
Despite scuffling a bit, the Cincinnati Reds are still inching closer to their first division title in 15 years.
Following a tough loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, the NL Central-leading Reds again try to break out of their offensive funk Wednesday night against Joe Saunders, who is coming off another disappointing outing.
Cincinnati (82-63) had the majors' best record in August at 19-8 but has already matched that loss total this month by going 5-8. The offense is mostly to blame, as the Reds are batting .254 while averaging 3.8 runs.
They entered September with a seven-game division lead and have managed to maintain that advantage thanks to St. Louis' continuing struggles. With the Cardinals losing to the Cubs 7-2 on Tuesday -- their 20th defeat in 29 games -- Cincinnati's magic number to clinch the Central for the first time since 1995 was cut to 12.
The Reds played like a postseason-bound team in winning Monday's opener against the Diamondbacks 7-2, but they lost 3-1 on Tuesday.
