Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz has been dealing with a left quad issue for much of the summer. He looks like the worst of it might be over.

Noelvi Marte has been the hottest hitter for this Reds team that has won three straight games. The outfielder had two more hits on Tuesday night in their win over the Angels, including a solo home run, his 10th of the season.

Cincinnati took the second game of the series, 6-4, as Hunter Greene recorded 12 strikeouts to negate Jo Adel l’s two late homers for Los Angeles. The Reds have a chance to sweep the Angels with a victory today as they continue their climb to an NL Wild Card spot (1.0 game back of the Mets).

The Los Angeles Angels are proof that having talented players is only one part of team success. The roster is highlighted by future Hall of Famer Mike Trout, 2025 All-Star pitcher Yusei Kikuchi, and power-hitting outfielder Taylor Ward (29 homers, 92 RBI), but they’re still 7.5 games out of an AL Wild Card spot with five-and-a-half weeks left.
