We are back home for the last week of the season and manager/LF Silver Borresen (33-6.9) and his Reds are in town for our final showdown. We are 6 games ahead of them, so they pretty much have to sweep us in this 4 game set to have a chance to overtake us. Of course, if the lowly Spiders can sweep us then the Reds certainly have a chance. We are 8-6 against them on the year, but they beat us 2 of 3 in the Queen City 3 weeks ago the last time we met. They lead the League in runs scored with 7.7 per game, almost a full run ahead of 2nd best Boston (6.8) (Detroit is 5th with 6.1). They are 7th in runs allowed with 6.8 per game (Detroit is 1st with 4.9, over a full run better than 2nd best Pittsburgh (6.0)). Of course they have a power-hitting lineup and we have a park that is very kind to power-hitting lineups, though they have yet to hit a home run in the 5 games we have played against each other in Detroit. That would mean they are due.....
