The Cincinnati Reds extended their win streak to four games by defeating the Minnesota Twins 4-2 in a rain-shortened game. This victory also marked their fourth consecutive series win, putting them a game shy of the third National League wild card spot. Manager Terry Francona emphasized the fluidity of the game, noting that momentum can shift quickly.

Despite a rain delay, the Reds quickly responded to an early home run by Byron Buxton, with Spencer Steer hitting a two-run homer in the first inning. The Reds added runs from Matt McLain and Will Benson in the subsequent innings. Starting pitcher Nick Lodolo delivered a solid performance, allowing just two runs over six innings, maintaining his composure during the weather disruptions.
