Cincinnati Reds defeated Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 in 10 innings, snapping Milwaukee’s franchise-record 14-game win streak. Austin Hays delivered a bases-loaded RBI single to cap a 10th-inning rally after Spencer Steer’s bunt move and two intentional walks loaded the bases. Will Benson reached on a fielding error that tied the game earlier, and Jose Trevino added the eventual game-winner. Graham Ashcraft earned the win after a quality start from Andrew Abbott; Emilio Pagán took the loss. The Reds have now avoided being swept in 40 straight series, the longest streak in franchise history. Up next: Freddy Peralta starts for Milwaukee against the Cubs; Brady Singer will start for Cincinnati against the Angels.

The Cincinnati Reds outslugged the Pittsburgh Pirates 14-8 to take a 2-2 split in the four-game set. Miguel Andújar delivered his first Reds homer, a three-run shot that sparked a four-run second inning, and he helped spark a decisive rally in the sixth. Spencer Steer and Noelvi Marte each collected three hits and four RBIs, with Steer delivering a go-ahead two-run double in the sixth and a two-run homer in the eighth, while Marte added a tiebreaking double in the sixth and belted a three-run homer in the ninth. Elly De La Cruz and Andújar started the sixth with back-to-back singles to breathe life into Cincinnati. Pittsburgh mounted a late charge, cutting the deficit to 9-8 in the eighth, but Graham Ashcraft struck out Jared Triolo with a runner aboard to quell the threat. The Reds piled on with a five-run ninth as Marte launched a three-run homer. The game featured 30 total hits, with Isiah Kiner-Falefa leading Pittsburgh with three hits and two RBIs. Reds pitcher Zach Littell gave up four runs in 1 1/3 innings, while Cincinnati starter Zach Littell and Scott Barlow (6-0) were part of a rocky early stretch for the Reds' bullpen. Cincinnati stretched its streak of not being swept in 40 straight series dating back to last season, and now heads into a three-game home set with Philadelphia behind Andrew Abbott in a marquee pitching matchup against Taijuan Walker.

Hunter Greene, the Cincinnati Reds' Opening Day starter, is on the verge of returning from the injured list after dealing with a groin strain. He participated in a simulated game this week, aiming for a return shortly after the All-Star break. If he clears this hurdle, Greene plans to face hitters again this weekend in Philadelphia, potentially leading to a minor-league rehab assignment. The Reds' general manager expressed optimism about Greene's progression.

This season, Greene has posted a solid 2.72 ERA across 11 starts and is eager to rejoin the rotation. Meanwhile, teammate Graham Ashcraft also threw a simulated inning, indicating he may return sooner than Greene. Another reliever, Ian Gibaut, is on the IL for shoulder issues, complicating the Reds' bullpen situation. The team continues to navigate injuries as they look to strengthen their playoff aspirations.

The Cincinnati Reds face a daunting situation following Wade Miley's placement on the 15-day injured list due to a flexor tendon tear. After three appearances back from Tommy John surgery, this setback raises questions about his season and future in baseball.

Joining Miley on the injured list is reliever Graham Ashcraft, compounding the Reds' pitching woes as their rotation depth dwindles. With Hunter Greene also sidelined, the team is scrambling for viable replacements. Chase Petty has been promoted from Triple-A to likely fill the gap left by Miley for the next start, while discussions around top prospect Chase Burns are intensifying as management weighs their short-term and long-term options.

Tyler Callihan's recovery from a broken arm is nothing short of impressive. After suffering multiple fractures just days after his MLB debut, he has returned to the Reds' clubhouse, showing signs of progress. Manager Terry Francona praised Callihan's resilience but acknowledged ongoing challenges in his recovery process.

Meanwhile, Graham Ashcraft is also on the mend from a right groin strain, having been placed on the 15-day injured list. Ashcraft reported feeling better, although the exact cause of his injury remains unclear. Additionally, Austin Hays is hopeful for a return after dealing with persistent pain in his left foot, which led to a second MRI. His performance before the injury suggests he has the potential to make a significant impact upon his return.
