Hard to feel good about the data. A -6 run differential. Even the close losses add up. And 3-4 in their last 7. Not the week they wanted.

Reds News

Elly De La Cruz made history by becoming the fourth Reds player to achieve a 30-30 season, a bright spot in an otherwise troubling stretch for Cincinnati, which is grappling with a dismal run differential that puts them in bad company. Despite a spirited effort, the Reds fell short against the Toronto Blue Jays, losing 6-5 and extending their struggles to a 3-4 week where they've been outscored by 11 runs. The team's inability to capitalize on opportunities highlights the urgency for changes in the offseason, making the management's decision to focus on players like Nick Martinez over Eugenio Suárez all the more contentious. With a 74-85 record, fans are left questioning the direction of the franchise as the clock ticks toward a pivotal 2027.

TORONTO — When shortstop Elly De La Cruz debuted as an electric, five-tool phenom for the Reds in 2023, many observers wondered if a 30/30 season might be just the beginning of what he could accomplish. It happened Friday during a 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.

Cincinnati Reds vs. Toronto Blue Jays – Nick Lodolo vs. Jose Soriano
Both the Toronto Blue Jays and Cincinnati Reds entered the 2026 season with high hopes. Toronto was fresh off a 2025 campaign that saw them win 94 games and come damn close to taking down the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 of the World Series, while the Reds managed to actually win more games […]

Elly De La Cruz joins 30-30 club as Reds blow big lead late and lose
The Cincinnati Reds have their own Tungsten Arm O’Doyle. For those who didn’t let their brains rot on Twitter during the long, lonely COVID days, the fictionally dominant O’Doyle was a shooting star in 2021 as future Hall of Famers Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout languished on a Los Angeles Angels roster that was a […]

Jays Edge Reds 6-5
For most of the night, this looked like a typically frustrating 2026 Blue Jays loss. The starting pitching wasn’t very good, the bullpen did enough to keep them in range, and while the offence produce traffic on the bases it failed to turn that into runs. Luckily, things flipped late. The offence woke up and […]
