Mistake pitch to Elly for sure...

SLAM FOR STEPHENSON!!!!!!

Elly is an incredible talent regardless, but it seems like he's rounding into prime form right now.

Nice response win.

Imagine if he has a healthy Hays hitting behind him for the rest of the season.

And so far, he's only a few months into his newer, shortened swing. His strikeout rate is down because he's moving his hands into the zone quicker and the bat isn't looping back near the catcher like before. You could see it really well today with a couple of the side camera .

I just hope that Steer's hand is OK. HBP in the hand is sooooo last year. I don't think that I've ever seen a team get hit in the hands as many times as the Reds did last season.

Let's hope that they break that ridiculous 'losing the first game of the series . . .' streak.

Reds win and take the series from the best team in MLB!!!

Love it! /thumbsup

Nice little late comeback there to get that series W from a really good team. Also broke that lose-the-first-game streak.

I think that it's pretty safe to say that nobody expected Wade Miley to be this effective.

Big game by Elly. He's appears to be playing pretty focused right now. A .273 average is kind of where he should be.

McLain picks up two hits in his return to 2nd in the lineup. Espinal responds to being dropped in the lineup with three hits. Looks like things are falling into place right now. Bring back a healthy Hays and Marte and the offense could really take off.

Day off for the bullpen tomorrow with Abbott, Lodolo and Martinez lined up for Minnesota starting on Tuesday.

Elly's OPS has gone from..

.710 in 2023
.809 in 2024
.850 so far in 2025

Exactly what you want from a young player

Reds in third place, tied with the Cardinals as the Brewers took three of four from them this weekend. Both of them are heading to Chicago, Brewers @ Cubs and Cardinals @ White Sox.

Pirates @ Cubs going to the bottom of the 10th, still tied at 2 . . . Cubs walk it off.

29 year old Isaac Mattson of the Pirates is on a roll right now.
In his season debut, he got the first hitter out then gave up a solo shot to the 2nd batter that he faced. Since then, he has only given up two walks over his last 9 1/3 innings. After his two innings today(no strikeouts), he has faced 30 straight batters without giving up a hit. It's kind of fun watching a non-fireballer get lots of weak contact.
