Cincinnati RedsvsArizona Diamondbacks
CIN 0/ARI 9
Things to say
Arizona shut out Cincinnati 9-0 at Chase Field.
01
opener
Yeah, D-backs rolled 'em. Nine to nothing at Chase, never close. Reds just got blanked, plain and simple.
02
key player
Whoever Arizona ran out there was filthy — carried a shutout deep and never got touched. That's a WHIP night you frame.
03
hot take
Cincinnati's heart of the order is a mirage. Zero runs? On a getaway day? That lineup's got no fight in it right now.
04
deep cut
Nine spot and Arizona didn't even need a walk-off — that's the offense stringing at-bats together, not one guy leaving the yard.
05
exit
Reds are hovering right at .500's ugly side. We'll see if they bounce back next series, but tonight was a wash.
The recap
Arizona took Cincinnati to the woodshed at Chase Field, 9-0, and it never felt close. The D-backs bats did the heavy lifting all night while whoever they ran out there tossed a clean shutout, blanking the Reds top to bottom.
Cincinnati couldn't scratch across a single run, wasting a getaway day and leaving the yard with nothing. Arizona climbs to 68-61 and sends the Reds home cold.
