The Cincinnati Reds took 2 of 3 from the St. Louis Cardinals this weekend to take a 0.5 game lead in the NL Central. Winning 7 of their last 8 games, the Reds are showing they can compete with the consensus favorites in the National League. In the last 8 games, Cincinnati starters have a league best 1.88 ERA and the defense hasn't committed an error in 11 games, the best streak since 1997. This team is finally starting to show the potential that has hovered over it for several years. "It definitely means something," said Bronson Arroyo, who pitched a complete game Sunday. "I think it means more on this club right now than it does if we had a winning club the last few years - just because of the confidence and keeping the ball rolling." The Reds welcome the Milwaukee Brewers to town tonight for a two-game series before traveling to Atlanta.
