Latest news and updates about the Reds
The Reds got off to a good start this year and held first place in the NL Central for the last two weeks of April. But they just got swept by the Pirates and were outscored 27-8 in the three-game series. Their expected W/L record of 15-19 is five games below their actual record of […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates are coming off a series sweep of the rival Cincinnati Reds, but they still find themselves at the bottom of what’s been a tightly contested National League Central division all season long. Despite the last place distinction that the Pirates hold, they still have a record over .500, as they are currently […]
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. […]
Good morning, folks… The Texas Rangers fell to the Detroit Tigers by a score of 5-1 last night. The DMN writes that Kumar Rocker’s performance was a reminder of the non-linearity of progress. It could be worse, though…the Cincinnati Reds tied a major league record by walking seven straight batters against the Pirates yesterday. Brandon […]
Friday night’s series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates couldn’t have gone much worse for the Cincinnati Reds. First, they sat out a lengthy rain delay in PNC Park and eventually waded into a drubbing at the hands of the Bucs in cool temperatures, their arms and bats looking as soggy as the 9-1 scoreline. Brady […]
Thanks to a strong start by Matthew Liberatore and offensive thunder from Nolan Gorman, Jordan Walker and Alec Burleson, the St. Louis Cardinals welcomed the Los Angeles Dodgers to town by beating them 7-2. After a 1-2-3 top of the first from Matthew Liberatore, the St. Louis Cardinals did not hesitate to get on the […]
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 […]
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 […]
Welcome to week 5 of our 2026 NL Central Power Rankings — let’s rank some teams! 1. Chicago Cubs (17-11); 5-2 this week; 73.7% chance to make postseason (FanGraphs) The top of these rankings remain a tough 1-2 punch, as the Cubs and Reds are both vying for the division lead. Chicago extended their win […]
After a gut-punch of a loss on Friday night, and a generalized shellacking on Saturday, could the Tigers salvage at least one win from their three-game series in Cincinnati? Well, with the help of some nice home runs — surprise, surprise, in this bandbox — and a feat not seen in a Tiger uniform for […]

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 […]
Cincinnati Reds lefty Andrew Abbott went toe to toe with Boston Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet on Opening Day in Great American Ball Park, and did so admirably. Abbott fired 6.0 IP of scoreless ball for the Reds, scattering 7 hits and a walk while striking out 4 in an 83 pitch effort that kept […]
It was surely an emotional return to Minnesota for Brandon Williamson his last time out. The Fairmont, MN native had hundreds of friends and family in attendance at Target Field as his Cincinnati Reds came to town, a game (and series) in which the Reds began to consolidate the momentum they’ve carried down to Tampa. […]
Chase Burns takes the mound for the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday evening down in Tampa at the Trop, and he does so knowing that another win would clinch a series victory over the Rays. Tampa will turn to veteran lefty Steven Matz for the start, and the Reds have responded by loading their lineup for […]
The Cincinnati Reds are rolling at 15-8 on the season so far, mixing in elite bullpen work with timely hitting and just enough starting pitching to make the dominos fall in the right direction so far. Fresh off a sweep of the Minnesota Twins on the road, the Reds rolled into Tampa and took the […]
We’ve all had that moment when we’ve spotted an open parking space, only to loop around and realize someone else slid into it before you got there. Thursday night’s Tampa Bay Rays game against the Cincinnati Reds had a similar feeling. Every time the Rays looked like they had an opening, Cincinnati beat them to […]
The Cincinnati Reds have scored just 78 runs through their 22 games played this year, yet they’ve managed to win 14 of those and sit in 1st place in their division after their weekend sweep of the Minnesota Twins. The Tampa Bay Rays, meanwhile, have seen their runners score 103 times through just 21 games, […]
Eugenio Suárez knew the Cincinnati Reds had just gone out and traded for Ke’Bryan Hayes last summer when he chose to sign with his old club again this winter. Geno surely knew of Hayes’ chops defensively as well as his contract – one that could run all the way through 2030 if the Reds so […]
The big league team may be off, but we got a full slate of minor league games including a pair of rehab appearances. Spencer Strider makes his first rehab appearance, while Sean Murphy makes his second appearance. Let’s take a look at who is playing around the organization today. (11-6) Gwinnett Stripers @ (12-5) Memphis […]
The slumping San Francisco Giants retooled their outfield before Wednesday’s game, sending Harrison Bader and Jared Oliva to the injured list and recalling Drew Gilbert and Will Brennan from Sacramento. Unfortunately, they didn’t retool the way they pitch to Cincinnati Reds rookie Sal Stewart. Stewart gave the Reds a 3-0 lead with a three-run home […]
The San Francisco Giants continue their three-game road series against the Cincinnati Reds this afternoon. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Tyler Mahle, who enters today’s game with a 4.30 ERA, 4.32 FIP, with 15 strikeouts to seven walks in 14.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 5-0 win […]
The Cincinnati Reds will be trying to win the series against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night in Great American Ball Park after last night’s thrilling 2-1 win in the opener. Homers from Spencer Steer and budding superstar Sal Stewart were all the Reds needed, as Brady Singer turned in his finest performance of […]
The San Francisco Giants have finally run into a team they’re hitting better than here through the season’s first couple of weeks. If you ignore the Yankees series, the Giants are actually around a league average offense (96 wRC+) in their last 13 games. Meanwhile, the Reds are the worst in the National League (76 […]
The 2026 MLB season has had a very weird start. Many good teams — including the Cubs — are off to mediocre starts. In fact, other than the 11-4 Dodgers, the other 29 teams all have records between 10-6 and 6-10 entering Monday’s action: 10-6: Braves, Padres9-6: Pirates9-7: Guardians, Twins, Reds, Diamondbacks8-7: Orioles, Yankees, Rays, […]
