It took a little extra, both a rain delay and extra innings for the White Socks to get a big win against the Reds last night, but well worth the wait. Nick Ledo has been throwing the ball so well, you hope that he has a good start tonight. The Reds need a win desperately. Midroth Vargas Caro in the top third and that sent to right. Hines on the slide takes it away. Nice play by Hines on that bullet to right and Maidroth is retired and there’s one down. Swing and a miss. The change up with great life. Carol’s down on strikes and the inning comes to a close. So Nick Lollo works a one two three first. We go to the bottom of the first inning here in Cincinnati. Davis Martin going to the mound for his eighth start. Erra a tick over four. Bonus OPS fairly high at 803. Hard hit percentage a little higher. Davis would like at 47.5. And that’s Cric to center field and down for a base hit. Gavin Lux is on to start the ball game for the Reds. He’s been struggling since snapping that 12game hitting streak which was a career best for him. Grounded to the left side. It’s going to be Vargas. Starts it off over to first and Espanol is safe. So the Socks only get one. And here’s Ellie Dea Cruz. Big hop over the middle. My draw steps on the bag and will turn two. It is a 63 inning ender. Reds in their alternate red jerseys tonight. And the White Socks in their alternate black jersey tops. Came inside again and Robert smokes it into center field. Can hardly hit the ball much harder. He got the pitch he wanted. Ledo tried to get inside for the third time in a row. Here’s Andrew Vaughn and Robert Jr. He’s on the move. Not waiting around. And there is stolen base number 17. He now leads Major League Baseball in stolen bases. When Robert Jr. is healthy, he can create some havoc on the base paths. And that one is launched into left field. Robert Junior, he will score easily as Vaughn will chug into second. An RBI double as the socks strike first. One- nothing here in the second inning. RBI’s are starting to add up. So, good sign. Just inside the left field line. Steer never hesitated around first and he goes cruising into second base with a feet first slide and a double. We’ll have a one out double here in the second inning. 3-2 and he blew it by him. 96 upstairs for out number two. There’s a chopper up the middle and Sosa will make the play at first and the Reds strand steer at second base after two. White Socks one. Reds nothing. Runner at first with one out. One to nothing Chicago in the third. Swinging. This ball is hit in the air. Center field going back on it is Benson. He leaps and he makes the catch on the warning track. Right out there in front of the Red’s bullpen. They love it. Back to first base. Maidroth on the fly out to center by Benson. Well, it’s going to go down as a fly out, but you ought to stick a couple of stars next to that one. Benson completely outstretched. Dandy defensive play. Hard shot over third. Nice stab. Wow. Well, that nonchalantly reaches up and just made the catch on that rocket. I mean, never moved off his stool. Never a change in expression. Just reached up, grabbed it, flipped it into the crowd like it was nothing. So, Luis Robert Jr. with a two out walk and the bases are now loaded here for Andrew Vaughn. And here’s the lefties two- two pitch swinging a high towering lazy fly into shallow right. Ree Hines moving in. He’s under it and he’s got it. The White Socks leave them loaded and don’t score. Well, Lo could use a clean, efficient inning. He had to throw 29 pitches. Ultimately left the bases loaded last inning. Lined in the left. That’s a base hit. That’s his first major league hit that hasn’t left the yard. He has a total of two of them now. Absolutely. He’s a one out runner. Brooks Baldwin tried to bunt his way on first time to right center. Benson makes the play. He makes it catch four in the second out of the inning upstairs heat. Taylor’s tough series at the plate continues. White Socks leave one. Very quick one, two, three for Davis Martin. A one, two, three inning for the White Sox. We go to the top of five. Reds down by one. We head to the fifth as his pitch count is approaching 80. And a leadoff walk here to Chase Maid. Vargas to center. Benson coming on. Slide grab twice. Vargas is lined to Benson. We’ve seen some nice catches already by Benson going over his head. A sliding catch coming in. A nice play by Reese Hines. And the Reds outfield tonight is tight. High bounce. Leo. They get Carol Maid now at second base. Two down. The batter is Robert. Hits this one hard. It’s going to fall in front of Benson. Maid. He’s going to be waved in. The player plate is cut off and Robert Jr. is caught in a run down. He didn’t have to run into the out. Run scores. It’s two nothing Socks. Safe to say the Reds are in an offensive funk. David Martin gets his fourth strike out of the night. And now Will Benson swung on by Benson. Hit hard to center field. There goes Robert back. It’s going to be over his head and bounce off the center field wall. Benson rounds first and eases into second base with a one out standup double. That’s contact right there that you love to see from Will Benson. Grounder up the middle. Maid with that quick sling over to first and there’s two away on the play. Benson moves to third on the ground to short and Davis Martin will get out of the jam. Full count now on Lenin Sosa. Three and two. Nobody on. One man out. Two nothing Socks in the sixth. Here’s the payoff in the air to deep right field. Going back is Hines keeps going back and it is gone. Lanine Sosa in the eighth pitch of the at bat launches his third home run of the season. He shows you that power to the opposite field and the Socks take a three nothing lead here in the sixth. Hustle double leading off for Lux. Here we go. The tide is turning. So maybe that’s a little bit of the jolt this offense needs on the ground. The runner will have to hold as Maidrop on the move will make the play for the first out here in the sixth inning. Change up gets him to turn it over to the right side and Dea Cruz will ground out as Lux advances to third. And now Davis Martin has one more out to get out of the sixth inning. Got him swinging. Davis Morton doing his job tonight here in Cincinnati. Reds have not scored. Top half of the seventh. Michael A. Taylor faces Scott Barlo. Three nothing White Socks. Taylor in the air to left field going back and it is out of here. Michael A. Taylor with his second bomb of the season. And the Socks add another four to nothing here in this seventh inning. Oh, did he need that? Michael A. Taylor after five strikeouts to open the series goes deep. Davis Martin pitching into the seventh inning for just the second time in his career. The Reds have scored one run in their last 28 innings at the plate. They have gone 0 for 26 with men in scoring position in that time. Spencer Steer will stand in to get things going for the Reds here in the seventh. There you go. Good ride to left center. Steer gets the Reds on the board. A leadoff homer to spark the seven. Spencer Steer’s second extra base hit tonight is a leadoff home run here in the seventh. And the Reds are on the board. Dean Sosa slides in just ahead of the good throw from Benson. It’s a two out double on a two- strike pitch. Now Tim Elco. Elco is one for three tonight. He struck out his first time up. Singled in the fourth and then grounded to short in the sixth. That’s bounced to Steer. Nice glove for the out. Three unassisted side retired. Well, the Reds have had a base runner in every inning but one through the first seven. But now it’s nobody on two down for Da Cruz. He’s put the ball on the ground three times today. He’s 0 for three. To left field, hopping in front of the fence, dropped by Baldwin. And Da Cruz showing that speed. Never broke stride. He’s in the second standing. Looked like Baldwin got a glove on it, but couldn’t hang on. So now Austin Hayes, it’s the Red’s first two out hit on the game. Can they go back to back to left center? That’s going to get down and to the wall. D Cruz scores. Backto back. Two out doubles and the Reds are within two. So the runners hold at the corners. Now two men are out and the Reds are now away from getting out of this jam. That’ll leave it up to Edgar Carol. High drop goes. Bouncer up the middle. Mlan on a low skip. Clean play. We go to the bottom of the ninth. Last chance for the Reds coming up. And with Will Veno looking for answers at the back end of this bullpen, Mike Vassel comes on for the 13th time as ZRA a 188. He’s got a two-run lead to protect and there’s two outs here in this ninth inning. So now it’s up to Ree Hines on the ground. It’s going to be a tough play for Vargas. The long throw in time. The White Socks take the first two games of the series and wrap up their first road series of the season. And Steve, more importantly, the first threeame win streak of the season.
