The 2024 Cincinnati Reds resemble their spring training team from last year, with strong pitching but a struggling offense. Pitchers Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, and Graham Ashcraft were compared to Atlanta Braves legends Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, and Tom Glavine before the season but fell short, posting a combined 13-17 record with a 4.96 ERA. This year, the trio has improved, going 7-6 with a 3.53 ERA. The Reds’ offense has been lackluster, hitting .215/.296/.357 through 40 games. The team recently broke an eight-game losing streak but faces tough opponents in the coming weeks.
