Cincinnati Reds at Cleveland Guardians
Final
Recap
CLEVELAND -- Matt McLain drove in three runs and Cincinnati survived a brutal inning by its bullpen as the Reds snapped a seven-game road losing streak with a 7-6 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Friday night in the first meeting between Ohio’s teams this year. Cincinnati seemed on the way to an easy victory when McLain hit a two-run homer in the eighth to make it 6-1. But things got messy as Reds reliever Graham Ashcraft walked the bases loaded and Travis Bazzana hit an RBI single to pull Cleveland within 6-2. Brock Burke came on and got a strikeout, but forced in two runs with a pair of bases-loaded walks.
