A Strong Start and Brilliant Pitching! 
️
What a game, Reds fans! From the get-go, the Cincinnati Reds came out swinging. It all started in the top of the 1st inning with Sal Stewart showcasing his power with a massive 419-foot homer to center, giving us an early 1-0 lead! 
The Reds were on fire again in the 2nd inning when Will Benson smashed a 409-foot homer, doubling our lead. The Reds' bats were alive, and our lads had a 2-0 advantage! 
Keeping the Padres in Check 
The Padres entered the 5th inning still with a goose egg on their board, but they put pressure on when Jackson Merrill tripled, bringing in a run. Another sacrifice fly knotted things up at 2-2. Despite this, our Reds pitching staff remained cool and composed. Whether it was flawless fielding or striking out Padres' big bats, big kudos to the pitching staff for maintaining control and ensuring the Padres didn't take the lead.Winning it in the Clutch Inning! 
As the game reached its climax in the top of the 9th, Tyler Stephenson delivered the golden moment with a stunning 357-foot homer to left! With Gavin Lux on base from a walk, this two-run homer pushed the Reds ahead 4-2, sealing the Padres' fate. Indeed nerves played no role for our exceptional bullpen as Emilio Pagán closed the game. A magnificent win for the Reds with smart, timely hitting paired with rock-solid defense! Can't wait for the next game, Reds family!
