The Reds roll into the All-Star break just 1.5 games back of first-place Milwaukee and seven games above the .500 mark. Two weeks ago, the Reds were flirting with .500 and anywhere from seven-to-eight games back of first.
A lot has changed in so little time. The Reds went 6-2 last week alone.
What’s most remarkable about this recent Reds run is that it’s being facilitated by names Reds fans might never expect to witness on a Reds Top 10 list, but their contribution has been very real.
Nonetheless, here were the Reds that contributed most to winning four of five from the Chicago Cubs and two of three from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
