Scooter Gennett #4 of the Cincinnati Reds follows through on his swing after hitting a two-run home run off of pitcher Jake Odorizzi of the Tampa Bay Rays during the sixth inning of a game on June 19, 2017, at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Reds fans may have gone to sleep on the team as they lost nine consecutive games, but the squad woke up Monday with a 7-3 over the Rays to spark an idea: maybe Cincinnati should petition MLB to stay in Tampa Bay, where the Reds are 6-1 all time (including visits in 2003 and '11).

Scott Schebler and Scooter Gennett homered, Joey Votto had three hits and the Reds dropped the Rays’ record against Cincinnati to 3-10, Tampa Bay’s worst against any club in the league.
