Reds' Rhett Lowder Shines in Shutout Win Over Astros

Rookie pitcher Rhett Lowder delivers 6 1/3 scoreless innings as Cincinnati extends winning streak against Houston to nine games.

Ty France's home run in the seventh inning secured the Reds' 1-0 victory.
Lowder, the seventh overall pick in the 2023 draft, allowed just four hits in his second major league start.
The Reds have swept the Astros in three consecutive series dating back to 2019.
Cincinnati's defense, led by Elly De La Cruz, made key plays to support Lowder's performance.
Manager David Bell praised Lowder's pitch mix and composure against a strong Houston lineup.
