Summary
The Reds clawed back with a gritty 6-4 win over the Braves, ending a three-game skid—but the victory came with a twist: shortstop Elly De La Cruz exited early with a hamstring strain, heading for an MRI. May was brutal for Cincinnati, starting with an eight-game skid and finishing 10-17, dragging them to last place in the NL Central, six games back. Yet the division’s tight, and the Wild Card’s still wide open. The bullpen’s been a disaster—only three of eight original relievers remain active, their ERA ballooning and walks piling up. Even key hitters are struggling, getting shuffled down the lineup or relegated to the bench. The manager’s walking a tightrope: maximize potential without overreacting.
