Reds Hot Offense
The Cincinnati Reds are finally realizing their offensive potential this June. They're getting on base at a .369 clip and slugging an amazing .530 as a team this month. They have the most home runs in the majors this June:
| June 2005 | Home Runs |
| Reds | 22 |
| Phillies | 21 |
| Dodgers | 21 |
| Orioles | 18 |
| Diamondbacks | 18 |
Unfortunately, the pitching has gotten worse. A 6.49 ERA this month means the Reds are just 5-5. Still they were 10 games under .500 coming into June. One step at a time.
