The Reds are close to the lead in the NL in runs scored.

I am as frustrated as anybody in the world about this team right now, especially living in Illinois and surrounded by Cubs and Cardinals fans. But I am optimistic that a breakout will happen in the near future.
The defense has gone from "most runs in the majors", to "most runs in the NL" to "2nd in the NL in runs" / "close to the lead in runs scored in the NL". Since the first 5 games, things have been trending downward. At breakneck speed.

They need to pick it up. Everywhere.
