Reds Have Chance to Clinch Playoff Spot Today
Johnny Cueto will take the mound for the Reds, who need to win one game to clinch a spot in the 2012 MLB postseason and visit the Cubs today. Cueto is in the running for the Cy Young Award this year as he sits on 17 wins and has an ERA under 3.00. He has struggled of late, losing his previous three starts in a row. This is only the second time in his career that he has lost three consecutive starts.
