Locked On Reds - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Reds

Cincinnati Reds play a complete game to top the Texas Rangers 5-3 on the road—are the bats finally waking up? Tim Daniel and guest Billy Devore break down a night packed with clutch home runs from Spencer Steer, Tyler Stephenson, and Elly De La Cruz, as the lineup powers through against Rangers pitching. The duo dissects Matt McLain’s spark at leadoff, the impact of early-season lineup changes, and whether the Reds' offense took a real step forward. Brady Singer delivers when it matters most, shaking off early nerves to limit the Rangers and hand things to a dominant bullpen—featuring lock-down outings from Tony Santillan, Emilio Pagán, and Sam Moll. Can Cincinnati maintain this pitching momentum with big matchups ahead against Texas prospects Kumar Rocker and Jack Leiter? Dive into the Reds’ win, bullpen depth, and what it means for the team’s chances in a loaded NL Central race.
