Cincinnati Reds
season was the 122nd season for the franchise in Major League Baseball
. The team attempted to return to the postseason for the second consecutive year following their NL Central division championship in 2010. Dusty Baker
returned for his fourth year managing the Reds and his eighteenth season managed overall.
. The Reds exercised the options of Jonny Gomes
, while declining the options of Aaron Harang
and Orlando Cabrera

, but later signed him to a 3-year, $35 Million extension through 2013. They also extended 23-year old right-fielder Jay Bruce
for 6 yrs./ $51M. They resigned catcher Ramon Hernandez
, who will again team up with Ryan Hanigan
in what was the 2nd best offensive catching duo in the NL of 2010, while giving highly touted prospect Devin Mesoraco more time to develop in the minors. They also resigned another veteran in backup corner infielder Miguel Cairo
. Jocketty brought in two young outfielders on minor league deals, Brian Barton
and Jeremy Hermida
. Hermida was invited to spring training. The Reds also signed former phenom pitcher and 2003 Rookie of the Year Dontrelle Willis

. GM Walt Jocketty
has stated that Renteria will be in a backup role to Janish. On January 10, the Reds signed left fielder Fred Lewis
for $900 K. He is expected to, at the very least, platoon with Gomes in left field. On January 16, it was announced that the Reds and Joey Votto
agreed to a 3 year, $38 million deal.

Regular season
The Reds opened the 2010 season with a walk-off home run against division rival Milwaukee to win on opening day 7–6 which eventually propelled them to a 5–0 start to the season, their best start since 1990 (the year which they last won the World Series). Throughout the months of April and May the Reds were either near the lead or the leader of the NL Central division. May also saw a three game series sweep of the rival St. Louis Cardinals, the Reds first sweep of the Cardinals since 2007. In June, the Reds continued to stay in the division race finishing the month with a 42–40 record. July started off poorly for the Reds who currently sit in fourth place in the division where they stayed through the week following the All-Star break.Game Log
