Elly De La Cruz Hits 2-Run HR, Reds Beat Dodgers 6-2 to Delay NL West Title
De La Cruz hit his 28th homer and the Reds scored four unanswered runs after falling behind early.
- On Wednesday, the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2, snapping a 10-game losing streak against the reigning back-to-back champions. Shortstop Elly De La Cruz hit a go-ahead two-run home run in the third inning.
- The Dodgers, seeking their 13th National League West title in 14 seasons, were denied a clinching opportunity when starting pitcher Blake Snell departed after one inning with left groin tightness. This forced Los Angeles into an unexpected bullpen game.
- Outfielder Dane Myers homered in the fifth inning to extend the lead to 3-1, while first baseman Sal Stewart added three hits. The Dodgers stranded 12 runners and went 0 for 11 with runners in scoring position.
- Cincinnati pitcher Andrew Abbott allowed one earned run over 4.2 innings with five strikeouts, bouncing back from a recent poor outing. The Reds will attempt to split the series Thursday with RHP Brady Singer starting the finale.
- Shortstop Elly De La Cruz, with 28 home runs this season, drove in seven of nine Reds runs in their recent matchups against Los Angeles. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said De La Cruz "likes the big stage" and "performs" against top competition.
