The Cincinnati Reds continued their struggles in spring training, suffering an 8-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners, marking their sixth straight defeat in the Cactus League. Starting pitcher Brady Singer showcased promise with a solid performance, allowing one run through 4 2/3 innings, while striking out five batters. Gavin Lux, recently acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers, contributed offensively with a double and an aggressive baserunning play that resulted in a run. Manager Terry Francona opted to give catcher Jose Trevino an extra day off as a precaution after a recent injury scare.

Looking ahead, the Reds are set to face the Cleveland Guardians in a night game with Andrew Abbott making his second start of the spring, while Tanner Bibee will pitch for the Guardians. With opening day approaching, both teams are eager to finalize their rosters and strategies, making this matchup crucial for player evaluations.
