Andrew Abbott delivered a stellar performance, tossing a three-hitter for the Cincinnati Reds in a 1-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians. The young left-hander struck out five and walked only one in his first career complete game, bouncing back from a previous loss. Spencer Steer's fifth-inning single drove in the lone run, helping the Reds extend their winning streak to five games and sweep the early matches of the Ohio Cup.

Abbott's shutout marked the first by a Reds pitcher since Wade Miley's no-hitter against the Guardians in 2021. Guardians third baseman José Ramírez extended his on-base streak to 36 games, tying a franchise record. The Reds' Nick Lodolo is set to face Guardians pitcher Logan Allen in the series finale.
