The Reds are going for the series victory on Wednesday night after splitting the doubleheader on Tuesday. They've won all three series thus far after the All-Star break and currently sit with a 50-56 record. They are five games back from the third and final National League Wild Card spot, but six teams are still ahead of them. Despite the recent success, it sure feels like the Reds will be sellers at the trade deadline, which is now less than a week away. “We’ve had teams reach out on a lot of our players on the roster," Krall told Gordon Wittenmyer of The Enquirer.

"Obviously, we haven’t played consistently good baseball and we’re aware of that.
