Hey Reds fans! What a rollercoaster game we had today against the Braves! The Cincinnati Reds managed to pull off a thrilling 6-5 win, and it had us on the edge of our seats!
Rough Start, but We Bounced Back! 
The game didn't start off too great for us. After a homer from Harris II and another from Olson, we found ourselves down 3-0 in just the first inning. But our boys didn't give up! After a double from Elly De La Cruz and a single from Tyler Stephenson, we got on the board! By the end of the first, we were trailing 3-1.
Mid-Game Blues 🌧
Things got a bit shaky again in the second inning when Laureano's infield single extended the Braves' lead to 4-1. By the fourth inning, Soler homered again, pushing it to 5-1. But don't count us out just yet! Ty France's double and Noelvi Marte's sac fly brought us back to life, reducing the deficit to 5-2.
Rally Time! 
In the sixth inning, the action heated up as Santiago Espinal and Jake Fraley both reached base, setting the stage for Noelvi Marte to smack a double, making it 5-4! When Jonathan India walked and Marte stole third, it felt like the tide was shifting.
The seventh inning was our moment of glory! Tyler Stephenson got it rolling with a single, and then Spencer Steer TRIUMPHANTLY homered to left-center, giving us that sweet 6-5 lead. That crack of the bat was music to our ears!
Closing It Out with Nerves of Steel 
Our bullpen was tested, but they came through! Lucas Sims held firm in the seventh, and Alexis Díaz was clutch in the ninth. Hearts were pounding when Harris II came up to bat with a chance to tie, but Díaz struck him out swinging! What a way to end the game!
Final Thoughts 
Cincinnati has shown once again that we're fighters. From Elly De La Cruz and Tyler Stephenson's great starts, to Spencer Steer's crucial homer, it was a total team effort. Let's keep this momentum going, Reds Nation! See you at the next game!
