The Cincinnati Reds faced an agonizing defeat against the Atlanta Braves, losing 6-5 in 11 innings after a rollercoaster game that featured late-game heroics, ejections, and questionable decisions. Rece Hinds delivered a critical two-run homer that put the Reds ahead, but poor pitching from Graham Ashcraft in the ninth allowed Atlanta to tie the game, ultimately leading to an 11th-inning loss. The Reds’ struggles were compounded by the ejections of both their first-base coach and manager due to disputes over crucial calls.

The Reds' pitching staff showed resilience with Nick Lodolo's strong outing, where he struck out seven in six innings. However, the offense faltered at pivotal moments, notably in a bases-loaded situation during the seventh inning. Despite Hinds' impactful play, the Reds failed to capitalize on their chances against the Braves, who are looking to solidify their playoff position.
