The strong performance by Elly De La Cruz and the off-balancing pitching of Nick Martinez propelled the Cincinnati Reds (31-47) to a much needed victory over the visiting Boston Red Sox (44-34).

Cincinnati fans were treated to a solid pitching performance from Nick Martinez (4-7) who permitted 3 earned runs on 5 hits and 2 walks while striking out 5 in 6 1/3 innings of play; Game Score 54. Reliever Lucas Sims (SV 2) covered the final 2 2/3 innings by scattering 2 hits and 1 wild pitch while striking out 4 in his scoreless appearance. The Reds offense was powered by Elly De La Cruz (3 for 4, 2 Homeruns, 2 Runs, 4 RBI), Jeimer Candelario (2 for 4, Double, Run, RBI), Tyler Stephenson (1 for 3, Double, Run, Walk), and TJ Friedl (2 for 4, 2 Runs).

Starter Garrett Whitlock (3-6) was tagged with the loss after serving up 5 earned runs on 10 hits and 1 walk while striking out 5 in 5 innings of play; Game Score 31. Reliever Ryne Stanek was smacked for 2 earned runs on 1 hits, 2 walks in 2 innings before Kenley Jansen covered the final inning in scoreless fashion. Rafael Devers (2 for 4, Double, Homerun, Run, RBI), Jarren Duran (1 for 3, Double, RBI, Sacrifice Fly), and Kyle Teel (1 for 3, Homerun, Run, RBI, and Walk) played well on the day.
