Andrew Abbott led the way for Cincinnati, pitching seven scoreless innings and giving up just four hits and one walk. It was the exact performance the Reds needed, especially because they finished with just three hits.The Reds didn't score in the first inning, despite loading the bases. They might've missed an opportunity early, but small ball in the second inning gave them the lead for good.
Jonathan India drew a walk, despite being down in the count 0-2, Will Benson hit a single and the runners advanced on a failed pick-off attempt. Jacob Hurtubise hit a sacrifice fly and Elly De La Cruz followed it up with a double to give the Reds a 2-0 lead.Fernando Cruz and Alexis Diaz delivered. Cruz has struggled in recent weeks and Diaz has had his issues, but both guys came through on a night when the Reds desperately needed them to secure the win.
Bell being frustrated makes sense. The Reds entered Tuesday night having won just three of their last 18 games. They're dealing with a ton of injuries and five players have been hit on the hand by pitches this season. That fire and passion is something that was good to see and who knows, maybe that helps the Reds get out of what has been an awful month of May.
