The Los Angeles Dodgers head to Cincinnati to face the Reds in their series opener on Monday at the Great American Ball Park.

If they weren't before, the Cincinnati Reds are now officially rolling. The Reds ascended to a new high-water mark in 2025 − six games over .500 − as they completed a three-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays with a 2-1 win on July 27 at Great American Ball Park. It was also four consecutive wins for Cincinnati.

The Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds are set to make baseball history on Aug. 2 when they play in the first ever 'Speedway Classic' at Bristol Motor Speedway. Per @MLB on social media:

During batting practices over the years, Noelvi Marte would often go out to the outfield and shag fly balls. He thought that he did a pretty good job at that, so he always believed that he could play the outfield if he was asked.

How about those Cincinnati Reds? Terry Francona's bunch has turned into the hottest team in the National League. The Reds completed a three game sweep at home over the Tampa Bay Rays and have now won four straight games.

The Cincinnati Reds are on a roll and now they have the Los Angeles Dodgers to face. On the mound for the Redlegs is Chase Burns whose workload is of top concern. Burns is in his first professional season.
