Singer has caught fire lately, allowing 29 hits and 10 runs in his last 39.2 innings. Singer has allowed one or fewer earned runs in six of his last eight starts. The Reds need to take advantage of games like this if they’re going to sneak into the playoffs. Give me the Reds to get a much-needed road win.
