Final Reds 2, Twins 1 Starting pitcher performance Joe Ryan turned in his second consecutive quality start, going six innings and allowing two runs — one earned — on three hits. Both of those runs came in the fourth inning. Ryan allowed a one-out double to Elly De La Cruz before a Ryan Kreidler throwing error put a second runner on.
The next batter, Eugenio Suárez, hammered a sweeper out of the zone to left-center field, bringing home both of the runners to give the Reds the lead. Player of the Game Suárez had the big swing in a game that was well-pitched on both sides. The third baseman finished with two of his team’s four hits on the night.
Suárez also made a nice sliding grab on a Luke Keaschall ground ball in the seventh inning when the Twins had a pair of runners on, popping quickly to his feet and throwing out a hustling Keaschall out to end the threat. Key moment The Twins had a prime opportunity in the fifth inning to break through off starter Brandon Williamson, a southern Minnesota native, after he walked the bases loaded. They did get one run out of the situation with Austin Martin’s sacrifice fly, which right fielder Will Benson made a sliding catch to snag.
