The Cincinnati Reds have an opportunity against the Detroit Tigers to gain ground in the NL Wild Card race. It is time for the Reds to stop treading water. With the Tigers being the opponent, the pressure is on Reds pitching, Andrew Abbott, Brandon Williamson, and the bullpen will really need to pitch well. The Reds are trying to make it to the playoffs and need to win at least 11 of their final 17 games.

Also, the lineup must put runs on the board early for the Reds. Elly De La Cruz, Joey Votto, Jonathan India, Spencer Steer, and company need to hit the Tigers as much as they can.
