Stewart's 8th HR -- and surprise steal of 3rd! -- spark Reds to 4th straight win ST. PETERSBURG -- The Reds have been winning most of their games so far this season with solid pitching and defense, and only a little bit of offense. But Monday night's 6-1 win over the Rays at Tropi...

Stewart may have led the way again but the #reds offense as a group played a bigger part in the club’s latest win.

Beauty of a diving stop by De La Cruz and an even better throw to rob Caminero of a hit in the third inning. #reds

Elly De La Cruz had a really awkward slide on his right shoulder to score the go ahead run at Minnesota Sunday.

Asked Francona if De La Cruz was ok.

“He’s fine,” Francona said.

De La Cruz is also exhibiting so signs of trouble here in TB, so he’s fortunate to have avoided injury. #reds

Connor Phillips was ejected in 8th inning for drilling Willy Adames in the leg. Benches flirted with clearing but order was restored. In the 2nd inn, Spencer Steer got plunked on the ribs by a Roupp fastball. Seemed to be spillover from last night's exchange with Steer over a late timeout. #reds

Closer Emilio Pagan threw a bullpen session at 9:15 am today and came out of it fine. Still a tight left hamstring but the club feels Pagan dodged a more serious injury. He'd like to pitch, if needed, today but his availability remains uncertain. #reds

Reds rookie Stewart stays hot with 2 HRs and 6 RBIs (all in first 2 innings!) CINCINNATI -- As the Reds have scoured and searched for their offensive identity -- and more runs -- in the early going of the 2026 season, one player has been a consistent epicenter of production for...

Opposite field hitting and power has been rookie Sal Stewart’s not-so-secret recipe for success. More on his big two-homer, six-RBI night in a #reds win over the Giants.

Sal Stewart just made an out but Scooter Gennett's record 4-homer game could still be challenged. It's only the fourth inning and Stewart already had two homers and 6 RBIs through the first two innings. #reds

Pagan has a tight right hamstring but said he appears “to have dodged a bullet.” No bruising or indications of a strain. Played catch just now and had treatment this morning. Not sure of the next step. #reds

Couple of injury notes from a 2-1 #reds with over SF. Pagan was limping after making the final pitch. Felt his hamstring grab. He was getting checked out.

Also - Singer took a comebacker off the top of his right foot in the 6th inning. X-rays were negative but they're going to keep an eye on it.

Friedl robs Trout, but Reds' bats continue to scuffle CINCINNATI -- Along with their pitching, defense has been a big part of the Reds' largely successful first two weeks while also providing cover for an offense that's often been meager but just enough.

#reds offense has been largely missing so far this season. After overcoming it during a strong start, they’re in a three-game losing streak after Friday’s defeat the Angels.
