The Reds ascended to a new high-water mark in 2025 − six games over .500 − as they completed a three-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays with a 2-1 win on July 27 at Great American Ball Park. It was also four consecutive wins for Cincinnati.

The Boston Red Sox are gaining on the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East standings. With a four-game stint ahead of them, it will be up to the Rays to slow down Boston's red-hot offense.
