1st October 1875
The fans of the Reds saw their team show through in another average month in a poor season. The team posted 4 wins and 4 losses to confirm their third place in the NL. The fans hope this isnt the way the team will play next year.
The batting tried its best with 52 runs in the month. The star of the show was First Baseman Cal McVey. McVey started all 8 games and had 32 plate appearances. These appearances bought him 12 hits along with 3 runs and 9 RBI's. This gave him an average of .375 for the month.
The pitching went back to Al Pratt as starter after his injury but this was probably not a good move. Pratt started all 8 games but put up poor numbers in the 58 innings he pitched. He gave up 59 hits and 22 earned runs for an ERA of 3.41. The team gave up a total of 56 runs.
