Overview

• Gavin Lux belted a two-run homer after TJ Friedl's leadoff single to stake Cincinnati to a 2-0 lead in the first inning.
• The Reds recorded leadoff triples by Austin Hays, Elly De La Cruz, and Ke’Bryan Hayes—their most in a game since 2019—with two runs cashed in on sacrifice flies.
• Brady Singer limited Los Angeles to one run over six innings to improve to 11-9, yielding only Taylor Ward’s RBI double in the first.
• Angels rookie Victor Mederos allowed three runs on nine hits and three walks across five innings in his second major league start, and Los Angeles stranded multiple runners late.
• Scott Barlow struck out Jo Adell to end an eighth-inning threat and fanned three more in the ninth for his first save, securing Cincinnati’s ninth straight win over the Angels.
