The Cincinnati Reds take the field Sunday trying to start a new winning streak, while the visiting Atlanta Braves look to leave town with a series win as the two clubs play the rubber match of a three-game series.
A day after Cincinnati ended Atlanta's eight-game winning streak, the Braves snapped the Reds' historic run at 12 games with a 7-6 victory on Saturday. The streak matched Cincinnati's longest of the modern era.
"It was quite a streak," Reds manager David Bell said. "It went on for a while so we didn't get used to it and that's a good thing. It was a great streak. We all appreciate what we were able to accomplish against good teams and we learned a lot about ourselves and we became a better team. We became stronger."
While rookies Elly De La Cruz, Matt McLain and Andrew Abbott were big parts of the streak, rookie Spencer Steer also played a major role. His two-run homer Saturday has him tied for the team lead with 11 and puts him second in RBIs with 42. "It's incredible to see what he's doing with his abilities," Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. said of De La Cruz through a translator. "It's been fun to watch him showcase that. I wish him continued success and health."
