The Cincinnati Reds continue their six-game road trip when they visit the Washington Nationals for a three-game series beginning Monday night. The Reds trail the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers by 7 1/2 games in the National League Central Division but are in the thick of the NL wild-card race. Washington fell behind 5-0 in the first inning Sunday as it dropped the rubber game against the visiting San Diego Padres.
