An Electrifying Win for the Reds! 
What a game, fellow Reds fans! Our Cincinnati Reds took on the Baltimore Orioles and came out victorious with an 8-3 win. The excitement started early in the game, with Elly De La Cruz launching a monstrous 400-foot homer in the 3rd inning, bringing Jose Trevino and Santiago Espinal across the plate 
. That swing put us in the lead, and the Reds never looked back from there!Powerful Performances at the Plate 
The 4th inning was particularly impressive, starting with Jeimer Candelario's solo blast to center field, which spanned an impressive 415 feet. But the highlight of the inning was definitely Matt McLain's 414-foot three-run homer, scoring both Trevino and Blake Dunn. It was raining home runs, and the Orioles just couldn't keep up. Hays added another run in the sixth inning, taking advantage of a throwing error. A big win that's sure to put smiles on all our faces! 
Dominant Pitching 
Our pitchers were on fire today! Despite some wild pitches in the 1st inning, Abbott settled in and managed to silence Baltimore's bats in subsequent innings. Barlow and Díaz came in to ensure the Orioles couldn't stage a comeback. A brief scare in the 8th when Heston Kjerstad hit a two-run homer, but our boys wrapped it up without any further damage. Huge shoutout to our defense for keeping the Orioles contained! 
All in all, an exciting day for Reds fans as we continue to show our power and prowess both at the plate and on the mound. Can’t wait for the next game!
