Cardinals get crushed in Chicago after getting completely shutout in Pittsburgh. The Reds are now only a half of a game behind the Cardinals and now(temporarily) only a game behind the Padres and the Giants for that last WC spot.
4rh place Reds . . . 7 .0 games out of 1st and would be . . .
4th place in the AL East, 3.5 behind 1st place Toronto, 2.5 behind 3rd place New York/Tampa Bay and 2.5 ahead of Boston.
2nd place in the AL Central, 8.0 behind Detroit and 4.5 ahead of the Twins.
2nd place in the AL West, 6.5 behind Houston and a half of a game ahead of the Mariners who are beating Pittsburgh right now.
3rd place in the NL East, 5.0 behind 1st place Philadelphia, 4.0 behind 2nd place New York and 5.5 ahead of surging Miami who have just +overtaken Atlanta.
4th place in the NL West, 10.0 behind Los Angeles, 1.0 game behind SD/SF and 2.5 ahead of Arizona.
This is the last series of their "Tough run".
They were 25-26, just lost a series to the Pirates, going into the Cubs series where the bullpen blew two of the three games(Reds would be 3.0 behind the Cubs right now if they didn't implode in those two games). They are now 46-42, going 21-16 vs Cubs(L), Kansas City(W), Cubs(L) Milwaukee(L), Arizona(W-Sweep),Cleveland(W), Detroit(W and broke ridiculous "lose 1st game" streak), Minnesota(W), St Louis(L), New York Yankees(W), San Diego(W), Boston(L), Philadelphia(? 1-0)
Their last six series losses
Pittsburgh

Straighten out the division and this team is nudging those top teams in the league. It seems, weird, but it's true. Before that run above, the Reds lost consecutive series to Washington, Atlanta(3-1), Houston and the White Sox. Most young teams are very difficult to predict.
