Matt McLain still hasn’t found his 2023 form, again

The Cincinnati Reds clearly began to put an emphasis on defense at some point over the last year. It was the driving reason behind their acquisition of 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes from Pittsburgh at last season’s trade deadline, a move that locked them into a glove-first (if not glove-only) player for a handful of guaranteed years […]

Reds swept by Pirates despite Chase Burns’ excellence on Sunday

The Cincinnati Reds did not have a position player pitch on Sunday in Pittsburgh. They did not get shelled 9-1, or walk seven consecutive batters in a 17-7 drubbing. The Reds instead watched their brightest young star turn in precisely the kind of outing they needed after their starters and bullpen had been torched the […]

Game 34: Reds at Pirates (1:35 PM ET) – Burns vs. Ashcraft

The Cincinnati Reds turn to Chase Burns on Sunday in Pittsburgh as they attempt to salvage a game in their series against the Pirates, who have absolutely unloaded on them in the first two games of the series. Cincinnati starters Brady Singer and Rhett Lowder have been crushed in short starts so far this series, […]

Reds option Rece Hinds to AAA Louisville

Two things have proven true so far for the Cincinnati Reds in this weekend’s series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The first, of course, is that walks will haunt. Cincinnati pitchers walked seven straight batters in Saturday’s 17-7 drubbing by the Buccos, the strike zone simply as hard to find as ships in the Bermuda Triangle. […]

Game 33: Reds at Pirates (4:05 PM ET) – Lowder vs. Mlodzinski

The Cincinnati Reds send Rhett Lowder to the mound on Saturday afternoon in PNC Park looking to level their series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Carmen Mlodzinski starts for Pittsburgh on the day. Graham Ashcraft is back with the Reds off the bereavement list, with Zach Maxwell heading back to AAA Louisville. First pitch is set […]

Game 32: Reds at Pirates (6:45 PM ET) – Singer vs. Keller

The Cincinnati Reds are in Pittsburgh on Friday night to take on the Pirates in the first of three games they’ll play over the weekend against their NL Central rivals. Starting tonight for Cincinnati will be Brady Singer, who has turned in a trio of solid outings after blister issues late in spring camp and […]

The biggest Reds/Pirates series since who knows when

The Cincinnati Reds are upriver in Pittsburgh on Friday to begin a weekend series against the Pirates. A Reds/Pirates series – starting on the first of May – and yet somehow, it feels like must-watch television. That’s a bummer for a lot of you, since tonight’s game is going to be broadcast quite poorly on […]

Nathaniel Lowe, TJ Friedl power Reds past Rockies

Things got off to a saucy start for the Cincinnati Reds in Thursday’s series finale against the Colorado Rockies in Great American Ball Park. If you, like me, are still trying to figure out exactly what that means, let’s just say that Andrew Abbott began the game by serving up a meatball that Tyler Freeman […]

Game 31: Reds vs. Rockies (12:40 PM ET) – Abbott vs. Lorenzen

The Cincinnati Reds will take on the Colorado Rockies on Thursday afternoon in Great American Ball Park in the series finale, a rubber match that will determine who claims the series victory. In it will feature former Red Michael Lorenzen on the bump for the Rockies, a mound he’ll share to start with lefty Andrew […]

Reds place Brandon Williamson on injured list with shoulder fatigue

Cincinnati Reds lefty Brandon Williamson exited Wednesday evening’s start against the Colorado Rockies after having thrown just 58 pitches across 3.0 IP. It was the latest in a series of frustrating starts for the 28 year old, who for the season has actually walked more hitters (20) than he’s struck out (19). After the game, […]

Game 30: Reds vs. Rockies (6:40 PM ET) – Williamson vs. Sugano

Today’s date is April 29th, and the Cincinnati Reds already have a chance to move 10 games over .500. TEN GAMES! To do so, they’ll need to once again get past the Colorado Rockies, whom they felled yesterday by the score of 7-2 on the backs of Elly De La Cruz and Chase Burns. Tonight, […]

Reds place Graham Ashcraft on bereavement list, add Luis Mey

The Cincinnati Reds needed to shuffle their bullpen on Wednesday prior to the second game of the series against the Colorado Rockies, as right-hander Graham Ashcraft was placed on the bereavement list. They opted to recall right-hander Luis Mey to fill the spot on the roster, as they announced on Twitter. Ashcraft has been brilliant […]

Elly De La Cruz wrecks Rockies in Reds win in series opener

Remember roughly five minutes ago when Sal Stewart’s start to the season was the talk of at least one particular corner of the baseball world? To be a bit more transparent, Sal’s still swatting the heck out of the baseball for the Cincinnati Reds. He even doubled and scored a run in the Reds series […]

Game 29: Reds vs. Rockies (6:40 PM ET) – Burns vs. Freeland

The Cincinnati Reds open up a midweek series against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday in Great American Ball Park, and do so with righty Chase Burns on the mound to start. The Rockies, meanwhile, will roll out veteran lefty Kyle Freeland – fresh off an IL stint – and the Reds have made the requisite […]

Reds welcome the Colorado Rockies to Cincinnati

It is quite likely that the last two days will the slowest of the entire season for the Cincinnati Reds. Despite winning the overall series (and being on a roll overall), the Reds spent Sunday afternoon dropping the series finale in Great American Ball Park to the Detroit Tigers. Compounding things was the manner in […]

The minor leaguers crushing the ball in the Cincinnati Reds system

The month of April is nearing a close, and thanks to the rotating outfield situation at the big league level with the Cincinnati Reds we’ve been privy all month to the offensive force coming out of the AAA Louisville lineup. Rece Hinds got the call to take over RF from Noelvi Marte when the former […]

Cincinnati Reds drop series finale to Detroit Tigers, 8-3

There was a time on Sunday afternoon where the fates seemed to be doing just about everything they could to push the Cincinnati Reds to yet another improbable victory. That wasn’t true of the Top of the 1st. Reds starter Rhett Lowder was tagged for three hits and a walk in a 30 pitch inning […]

MLB

Game 28: Reds vs. Tigers (1:40 PM ET) – Lowder vs. Montero

Rhett Lowder’s best outing of the 2026 season came back on April 4th against the Texas Rangers. The Cincinnati Reds righty fired 6.0 IP of scoreless, 3 hit ball that day, and he did so pitching to catcher Jose Trevino for the first (and, so far, only) time this year. That’s largely because Trevino hit […]

Reds activate Jose Trevino, option PJ Higgins to AAA Louisville

The Cincinnati Reds continued their roster revamp on Sunday morning, activating catcher Jose Trevino off the injured list after he’d been out of action at the big league level since back on April 4th. Trevino, 33, has logged just 12 PA so far this season as a back issue has been dogging him since the […]

Homer-happy Reds blast past Tigers in 9-2 rout

The Cincinnati Reds welcomed Aaron Harang, Lou Piniella, Brandon Phillips, and Reggie Sanders into their team’s Hall of Fame in ceremony on Saturday afternoon. And while the butts in the seats in Great American Ball Park may well have been there to see them honor the team’s past, it was the present that ended up […]

Game 27: Reds vs. Tigers (7:15 PM ET) – Singer vs. Flaherty

The Cincinnati Reds weathered an early onslaught by the Detroit Tigers and a lengthy weather delay on Friday night before Nathaniel Lowe launched a walk-off dinger to give them a 9-8 victory in the series opener. On Saturday, they’ll formally induct each of Aaron Harang, Reggie Sanders, Brandon Phillips, and Lou Piniella into their team […]

Reds to place Eugenio Suárez on injured list with oblique strain

Cincinnati Reds slugger Eugenio Suárez was a late scratch from the Friday evening lineup in the team’s series opener in Great American Ball Park against the Detroit Tigers. Nathaniel Lowe – who eventually ended up swatting a walk-off dinger – was moved into the DH spot for the game, and the initial hope was that […]

Nathaniel Lowe walks it off for Cincinnati Reds over Detroit Tigers

The Cincinnati Reds battled through another rough start by Andrew Abbott and a long weather delay on Friday in Great American Ball Park, doing so in the series opener against the Detroit Tigers on the weekend in which the team will induct four franchise icons into the team’s Hall of Fame. Matt McLain homered twice, […]
