The Cincinnati Reds held serve against perhaps the worst-run sports franchise in America this week, taking 3 out of 4 against the Colorado Rockies and maintaining their resident spot in shouting distance of the expanded playoffs.

At 45-49, they’re still technically tied for last place in the National League Central. They’re also just a half-game out of 3rd place in the division and a sporting 3 games back of the final NL Wild Card spot, and now have a trio of games against the Miami Marlins - who somehow sit a half-game behind the Rockies for the worst record in the NL - with a chance to further make a statement before the All Star break.
