Reds Win Series Against Braves

What a great home series that was against the Atlanta Braves. This is probably one of the few times the Reds have beaten the Braves in a three game series in maybe even a decade. They even had a chance to sweep them but lost the first game in extra innings. The Reds looked pretty good playing against them.

The pitching is what really won these games. They did have some timely hitting but the pitching is what kept them in the game. I still can't believe the Reds are leading the league in many battling categories. It is pretty amazing how this team turned around from last year, and they didn't even have Volquez for half the year.

I think the Cincinnati team has won every series since the all-star break except the series against the Nationals in which each team won two games. Hopefully they will continue to win deep into the post season, but it is still a really tight race for both the Central division and wild card.
