The Cincinnati Reds are for real and they have an 11-game winning streak to prove it. This is the longest active winning streak in the MLB and the most consecutive wins the franchise has had since 1957.

The Reds’ latest victory came against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. Despite falling into a 3-0 hole at the top of the fourth, Cincinnati showed impressive resilience to orchestrate a 3-5 comeback win. This was the 12th time this season that the Reds came from behind and emerged victorious, which is also most in the majors.

Veteran outfielder Jake Fraley ended up being the hero for the Reds, hitting a two-run, 359 feet homer at the bottom of the eight to break the 3-3 tie from the fifth inning. 

Speaking with reporters after the game, Reds’ manager David Bell said that the energy his team plays with is “inspiring”.

“It is very inspiring to be around,” Bell said. “It is happening in the clubhouse. It’s happening on the field, and what’s happening in the ballpark, our fans, it’s seeing them enjoy the game. It means a lot to us.”

After losing 100 games last season and making the playoffs only once in the past decade, the Cincinnati Reds seemed to be finally on an upward trajectory. They have been one of the most exciting teams in baseball in 2023, with a roster that combines talented young prospects and experienced veterans.

The recent winning streak helped the Reds to improve to a 40-35 record, and they are currently first in NL Central with 1.5 games advantage over the second-placed Milwaukee Brewers.

Starting pitcher Hunter Greene agreed to a six-year contract extension with the Cincinnati Reds, the team confirmed on Tuesday. The deal, worth $53 million, provides the 23-year-old player with the prospect of a long-term future with the team after a summer of uncertainty.

Included in the deal is a seventh-year option worth $21 million as well as a buyout clause of $2 million. This agreement also saw the buyout of two years of Greene’s free agency.

“The commitment we made to Hunter reflects his commitment to this organization and to our community,” Reds CEO Bob Castellini stated following the announcement of the right-hander’s contract extension. “He is part of the foundation of young players who will continue to help us build a successful major league team.”

Greene was drafted as the number two pick in 2017, striking out 164 over 125⅔ innings and posting a 4.44 ERA during his rookie season. He underwent Tommy John surgery a little more than a year later, spending the 2020 season with the Reds’ alternate side. During his four starts this season, Green has struck out batters at an even higher rate than he did in his rookie season.

The Cincinnati Reds have already decided on their Opening Day starter. The honor belongs to last year’s standout Tyler Mahle, who is now set to face the reigning World Series champs Atlanta Braves when the 2022 MLB season starts on April 7. 

The Reds’ manager David Bell delivered the news to Mahle and said that the 27-year-old player was really excited for the opportunity.

“It was a real honor to give him the news,” Bell said. “He doesn’t always show it, but he was really excited. He knows how important it is, and he’s earned it. He has quietly become one of the best pitchers in baseball.”

Mahle has been quietly good for the Reds ever since he made his majors debut in 2017. However, his game really took off last season when he had league-leading 33 starts. He finished the campaign with a 13-6 record, 3.75 ERA, and career-best 210 strikeouts.

Despite being arguably the best pitcher on the Reds last year, Mahle didn’t expect to get the Opening Day nod. In previous years, Veteran Luis Castillo had that honor and was expected to continue the tradition in 2022. However, Castillo is dealing with shoulder pain at the moment, making the transition easier for Bell.

“It means a lot,” Mahle said after learning the news. “Some people never get to do this. I may only get to do it once. I don’t know so I will try to make the most of it and have a lot of fun.”

After starting the 2018 MLB season with a 3-15 record, Cincinnati Reds decided it was time to shake things up. The team has announced on Thursday that they have parted ways with their manager Bryan Price and pitching coach Mack Jenkins. Cincinnati Reds decided to make this move after the team suffered back-to-back shutout losses to Milwaukee Brewers.

The Reds have named bench coach Jim Riggleman as interim manager, saying they will embark on a search for a new manager “later in the year.”

“At this time, we felt a change needed to happen in order to begin the process of getting this team back on the right track. We realize it is early in the season but feel it is important to be proactive,” – said Reds’ general manager Dick Williams. “In addition to these staff changes, we will continue to examine all aspects of baseball operations to ensure we are doing everything we can to improve.“

Bryan Price served as a pitching coach for the Seattle Mariners and Arizona Diamondbacks, before joining Cincinnati Reds in the same role in 2010. After the Reds fired manager Dusty Baker, Price took over the position and posted a 279-387 record since then. Under his management, the Reds never had a winning season. The team also lost at least 94 games in the past three season, while also finishing last in North League Central in each of them.
