Reds News

The Cincinnati Reds pulled off a thrilling comeback against the Miami Marlins, overcoming a two-run deficit in the ninth to win 6-3 in ten innings, thanks to Matt McLain's timely performance. Andrew Abbott takes the mound tonight, facing Sandy Alcantara, a former Cy Young winner who’s been less than dominant since returning from Tommy John surgery. While the Reds bask in the glow of a hot start at 7-3, concerns loom over the health of their pitching staff, particularly Nick Lodolo, whose struggles might force a move to the bullpen. The Reds need to harness this momentum and find their offensive rhythm, as a weak 2.8 runs per game this week won't cut it against tougher competition. With Hunter Greene on the shelf and looming challenges from division rivals, the Reds can't afford to let their early-season chaos fester.

Reds storm back with late rally to beat Marlins in extra innings
Sandy Alcantara was the runaway winner of the National League Cy Young Award back in 2022 and, when right, remains one of the elite pitchers in all of Major League Baseball. Since then, though, he’s had his share of hurdles. Tommy John surgery cost him all of the 2024 season, and his 2025 season – […]
