Cincinnati RedsvsNew York Yankees
CIN 4/NYY 1
Things to say
The Reds beat the Yankees 4-1 in the Bronx.
01
opener
Reds went into the Bronx and took it 4-1. Real pitcher's duel for most of it. Yankees just never got the bats going.
02
key player
Cincinnati's starter was filthy — got into his stuff early and worked deep into the game. One run is all you give up at Yankee Stadium and you're walking out with the W.
03
hot take
I don't care about the record, the Reds are scrappier than people give them credit for. Yankees offense is paper at home when they can't leave the yard.
04
deep cut
Yankees stranded runners all afternoon and the heart of the order went quiet. One run on a getaway day, that's not gonna cut it.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Yankees bounce back tomorrow — they don't usually drop two like this at home.
The recap
The Reds rolled into the Bronx and stole one, 4-1, behind a starter who clearly got into his stuff early and kept the heart of the Yankee order off balance all afternoon. Cincinnati did just enough damage to stake a lead, then handed it to the bullpen to slam the door on a quiet New York lineup that never could string anything together.
One run is one run, and the Yankees just didn't have an answer on a getaway day. Solid road win for a Cincy club scratching to climb back to .500.
