Reds fans hadn’t seen their team in Ohio in nine days, and if they blink this week, they will miss them. This series comes during a 21-day stretch in which the Reds play 16 games on the road and three at home. In a four-week stretch starting April 4, the Reds play 20 of 26 games on the road.
Even the next homestand — four games in four days against the San Francisco Giants May 3-6 — is a short one. The Reds don’t play two series in a row at home again until mid-May.

We’ll make the most of these three days. Every challenge that comes up with a team, it’s just an opportunity to get better.”
