The Cincinnati Reds started a three-game series with the Kansas City Royals on Monday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium.

Before the game, Jim Day caught up with former Reds second baseman Jonathna India to reflect on his time as a Red.

"They gave me a chance," India told Jim Day. "That's all I asked for. They raised me. I definitely always think about the times I had with the Reds. I had very good moments with them. I went through the struggles with them and went through the great times with them. They made me into the player I am today."

The 28-year-old slashed .253/.352/.412 with 170 extra-base hits in 523 games with the Reds.

India has struggled so far this year with Kansas City, slashing just .226/.327/.299 with 11 extra-base hits in 47 games with the Royals.
