Reds Rally in the 4th to Beat Yankees
What a fantastic day at the Great American Ballpark! The Cincinnati Reds hooked a big one today with their overwhelming 6-1 victory over the New York Yankees. I knew we had it in us, even though the Yankees struck first with that solo homer by Aaron Judge in the top of the 1st. But our guys turned the tables with style in the 4th inning!Reds' Offense Explodes in the 4th
The bottom of the 4th inning was where the magic happened!
Matt McLain got on base after being hit by a pitch, setting things up for Little Magic himself, Elly De La Cruz, who tripled to center, sending McLain home to tie the game. And then, Spencer Steer's sac fly brought De La Cruz in to take the lead. Boom! 
Gavin Lux followed with a beautiful homer to right, pushing us ahead 3-1. Our lineup was on fire, and Tyler Stephenson and Jose Trevino added to the offensive rhythm with singles. Love seeing our boys bring the heat! 
Solid Pitching Secures the Win
Big props to our pitching staff for holding the Yanks after that opening inning. Nick Lodolo kept us solid through difficult spots, and Scott Barlow, Tommy Martinez, and T.J. Santillan ensured there were no comebacks. Elly De La Cruz wasn't done showing off; he belted another homer in the 8th, making it 5-1, and our persistent defense didn't let up.
Steer scoring on Trevino's infield single in the bottom of the 8th put the icing on the cake. Awesome job, guys!C'mon Reds Nation, let's keep the momentum rolling into the next game! Let's Go Reds!
