Show Notes

The Cincinnati Reds suffered an 8-3 defeat to the Pittsburgh Pirates, marking their second loss of the 2026 season. Brandon Williamson, making his first start in over a year after Tommy John surgery, struggled early, giving up five runs on 54 pitches in two innings, including three home runs. Despite settling down, Williamson allowed eight baserunners and was pulled in the fifth, taking his first loss. The Reds bats were silent until the eighth inning, when Elly De La Cruz and Sal Stewart hit back-to-back home runs. However, the bottom of the order couldnt deliver the big hits for a comeback. Positives include De La Cruzs strong start and Stewarts five extra-base knocks. The Reds look to flip the series momentum in tomorrows game against the Pirates.
