MLB WEDNESDAY PREVIEWS

The Cincinnati Reds have been up and down through the first six games of their 11-game West Coast jaunt. The Reds will look to win their three-game series on Wednesday when they play the finale versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Luis Cruz ripped an RBI double to snap a tie and then stole home in the seventh inning as Los Angeles posted just its third victory in 15 games with a 3-1 triumph on Tuesday.

Although Cincinnati fell short, it did receive a solid performance from Joey Votto. The Toronto native had a pair of hits in his return from a two-game absence due to inflammation in his left knee. The setback dropped the Reds into a first-place tie with surprising Pittsburgh atop the National League Central, and leaves them 3-3 so far on the trip.
