Game 6: Reds vs. Pirates (12:40 PM ET) – Abbott vs. Skenes
The Cincinnati Reds play host to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the series finale on Wednesday afternoon in Great American Ball Park, and they do so with reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes as their competition for the day. Andrew Abbott will get the start for the Reds with hopes he can replicate […]
Cincinnati Reds fall to Pirates 8-3 as series evens
If you just look at the box score for this game, it won’t tell you much beyond the Cincinnati Reds getting handed a loss by 5 runs from their division rivals from upriver in Pittsburgh. However, there was a level of nuance to how this one shook out that wasn’t quite so objective, and that’s […]
Game 5: Reds vs. Pirates (6:40 PM ET – Williamson vs. Chandler
Brandon Williamson and the Cincinnati Reds play host to Bubba Chandler and the Pittsburgh Pirates in Great American Ball Park on Tuesday evening. A win tonight would give the Reds a second consecutive series victory to start 2026, which would be very, very nice. First pitch is set for 6:40 PM ET. Lineups below. Go […]
Brandon Williamson makes his return tonight against Pittsburgh
It’s been since September 17th, 2024 since Brandon Williamson has taken a mound in a professional baseball game at any level, let alone at the big league level. His grind back after having Tommy John surgery on the UCL in his left arm, though, is finally complete. Williamson will start for the Cincinnati Reds tonight […]
Reds finalize rosters for Chattanooga Lookouts, Dayton Dragons
While the AAA Louisville Bats got their 2026 regular season underway last week just like the big league Cincinnati Reds, the lower minors affiliates will begin their campaigns later this week. With that on the docket, the rosters for the respective Opening Days for the High-A Dayton Dragons (Thursday evening against the Lansing Lugnuts) and […]
Reds shut out Pirates behind brilliant Chase Burns, bullpen
The Cincinnati Reds ran their win streak to three games on Monday with a hotly contested 2-0 shutout victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the series opener between the NL Central rivals in Great American Ball Park. Of note was the manner in which the Reds won, as Chase Burns got his first start of […]
Game 4: Reds vs. Pirates (6:40 PM ET) – Burns vs. Ashcraft

Chase Burns set for 2026 debut on Monday vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
You may recall some of the highlights (and lone true lowlight) of Chase Burns’ rookie campaign in 2025. He began his year in late June by striking out just about every single New York Yankee that came to the plate against him only to get lit up by a Boston Red Sox club in his […]
Sal Stewart, the world’s greatest hitter of baseballs
Sal Stewart hit 5 homers for the Cincinnati Reds once called upon for the stretch run of the 2025 season, and he backed it up with a pair of hits (and 4 RBI) in Cincinnati’s brief postseason play against the Los Angeles Dodgers. People saw him. People became aware of him. The brash rookie in […]
Huge homer from Eugenio Suárez leads Reds past Red Sox
It had been a bit of a slow start to the season for Eugenio Suárez entering play on Sunday. It’s hard to fault him for it, of course, as he’d been away on the roller coaster that was Team Venezuela’s victory in the World Baseball Classic and had far from the typical spring training warm-up. […]
Game 3: Reds vs. Red Sox (1:40 PM ET) – Lowder vs. Early
Rhett Lowder returns to the mound for the Cincinnati Reds for the first time after his lost 2025 season, and does so with a series victory over the Boston Red Sox on the line. First pitch is slated for 1:40 PM ET. Lineups are listed below. Go Reds! Today’s Lineups RED SOX REDS Roman Anthony […]
Reds send Rhett Lowder to mound Sunday with series vs. Red Sox on the line
The Cincinnati Reds got their first win of the 2026 on Saturday, and it came in dramatic fashion. Dane Myers laced a liner into LF in the Bottom of the 11th, and that was deep enough for TJ Friedl to race home from 2B ahead of the throw in from Boston Red Sox star Roman […]
Reds walk off Red Sox in extra innings for first win of 2026
There was ample action in Great American Ball Park on Saturday, and the end result was a 6-5 victory by the Cincinnati Reds over the Boston Red Sox. Dane Myers swatted a single over the shortstop – a replacement shortstop, I should add – in the Bottom of the 11th inning for his first hit, […]
Game 2: Reds vs. Red Sox (4:10 PM ET) – Singer vs. Gray
Sonny Gray returns to Great American Ball Park to face his former team as the Cincinnati Reds play host to the Boston Red Sox on Saturday afternoon. Lineups are listed below. Go Reds! Today’s Lineups RED SOX REDS Roman Anthony – LF TJ Friedl – CF Trevor Story – SS Matt McLain – 2B Jarren […]
Red Sox, old friend Sonny Gray stand in Reds way Saturday
It was January of 2019 when the Cincinnati Reds sent prospect Shed Long and a Competitive Balance pick to the New York Yankees to acquire right-hander Sonny Gray, the former Oakland A’s ace and 2015 All Star. He had struggled mightily since landing in the Bronx, yet Cincinnati pitching guru Derek Johnson – who had […]
Path to the World Series goes through the Los Angeles Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers won a World Series title in the abbreviated 2020 season, doing so with the likes of Clayton Kershaw, Cody Bellinger, Walker Buehler, Justin Turner, Kenley Jansen, and Corey Seager as key parts of their core. Every last one of those players is now gone, with all but Kershaw having skipped town […]
Garrett Crochet, Red Sox shut down Reds on Opening Day
The Cincinnati Reds got a rock solid start by Andrew Abbott in his first career start on Opening Day. The left-handed All Star fired 6.0 IP of scoreless ball, but the problem was that the Boston Red Sox similarly had an All Star lefty on the mound in Garrett Crochet. Crochet kept Cincinnati just as […]
Game 1: Reds vs. Red Sox (4:10 PM ET) – Abbott vs. Crochet
Andrew Abbott will take the mound at Great American Ball Park and chuck the first pitch of the 2026 regular season for the Cincinnati Reds today. He’ll do so with budding Boston Red Sox superstar Roman Anthony in the box against him, as that’s who will lead off for Cincinnati’s opposition today. First pitch is […]
Cincinnati Reds play host to Garrett Crochet & Boston Red Sox
Opening Day in Cincinnati has finally arrived! After a long winter where we were left to ponder whether the Cincinnati Reds, who actually snuck into the playoffs for a minute in 2025, were going to take a giant leap forward in 2026 as their roster entered a fourth full year together post-rebuild. Today, we get […]
Five Dumb Predictions for the 2026 Cincinnati Reds
When was the last time the Cincinnati Reds rolled into a season on such an upswing? They made the playoffs last year. Even after they did that, they didn’t immediately lose half their roster to free agency, or have their minuscule budget force them to trade away key stars. They’ve got a Hall of Fame […]
How the Reds might line up on Opening Day vs. Boston lefty Garrett Crochet
Garrett Crochet came to the Boston Red Sox from the Chicago White Sox in a move that surely made the southsiders groan and throw everything within reach as far as possible. All Crochet did once settling in Beantown was post a 6.3 bWAR season that featured and AL-best 205.1 IP and MLB-best 255 Ks, efforts […]
Cincinnati Reds set Opening Day roster, add Jose Franco
We don’t yet know when, or if Jose Franco will take the mound for the Cincinnati Reds, but we do now know he’s going to have a very good opportunity to do so within the next two weeks. With Opening Day set for tomorrow – Thursday, March 26th – and with Nick Lodolo needing a […]
Are the 2026 Cincinnati Reds being overlooked?
Up the river and around the bend, past Huntington and Parkersburg, Wheeling and Steubenville, the Pittsburgh Pirates finally have a little rumble in their bellies. Cincinnati’s NL Central rivals have Paul Skenes, ace extraordinaire, the reigning Cy Young Award winner in the National League. They have Konnor Griffin on the cusp of his debut, the […]
Reds to place Nick Lodolo on injured list with blister issue
The good news is that Cincinnati Reds lefty Nick Lodolo isn’t really injured, per se. He’s once again dealing with a blister issue on his left (throwing) hand, one that popped up in his final appearance of Cactus League action down in Arizona during a record-touching heat wave. Apparently, though, it’s bad enough that they […]
Joey Votto gave the Reds a custom clock because he’s the coolest man on the planet
Just when you thought Joey Votto had retired to a quiet beach somewhere, content to read Verne and Hiaasen and learn four new languages, he has popped back up on the radar of the Cincinnati Reds once again. In typical Votto fashion, he did so with brilliant, understated style. According to MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon, he […]
