Jay Bruce says the Reds have had an impressive first half, even if they are in third place in the NL Central. A big showing by the Reds' offense provided the perfect confidence boost before the All-Star break. Bruce hit a two-run homer in Cincinnati's four-run third inning, Shin-Soo Choo also homered, and the Reds beat Julio Teheran and the Atlanta Braves 8-4 on Sunday.
