Spencer Steer and Will Benson homered, Hunter Greene pitched six innings of one-run ball and the Cincinnati Reds dealt the Los Angeles Dodgers a season-high fourth straight loss, securing the weekend series with a 3-1 victory Saturday night.
After outlasting the Dodgers 9-6 on Friday, the Reds got some big hits and shutdown relief pitching to clinch a season series for the first time in over a month.
“We know we’ve been struggling with it, but at the same time we’ve remained confident, and we take the field every day believing in what we’re capable of doing,” Cincinnati manager David Bell said. “But the results obviously matter, you know, and it’s important to have what you’re working toward show up and get that feeling of winning. And that can go a long way."
Greene allowed five hits and struck out five in six innings. The Reds got scoreless innings of relief fromAfter Steer’s solo homer in the first, Greene got into a jam in the second. Two singles and a walk loaded the bases for the Dodgers with no outs, but they came away with just one run as Greene got“I think it was important to the team to keep the momentum on our side,” Greene said of escaping the 32-pitch inning.
With two outs in the second, Benson crushed a fastball from Buehler 411 feet into the upper deck in left field for a 2-1 Cincinnati lead.“I don’t know the answer to why we’re in a lull," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “I think you can sort of dissect each game and then figure out whether it was situational hitting or we didn’t take good at-bats or giving credit to the opposing staff. I thought today Hunter threw the baseball well.
