In honor of the Reds incredible need to compile runs by hitting the ball out of the park we’ll be tracking the teams ascent up the ladder towards last years teams 222, which is the Red single season record.

So today’s 6 against Cubs pitching gives the Reds 17 for the year, one more than the whole 1906 season and one less than the 1902 season.
