#Reds SS Elly De La Cruz on the throw Monday night left teammate slack-jawed and the clubhouse buzzing:

Everyday Elly De La Cruz sets tone as April MVP for Cincinnati Reds with MLB first cincinnati.com/story/sports/m…

10 of Lodolo's 15 outs tonight via K.

Reds 4, Padres 1, T6

Since those back-to-back walks leading off the second, Reds starter Nick Lodolo has retired nine straight -- seven on strikeouts. He has struck out every Padre except Kim through 4 IP tonight.

Lodolo opens the second with back-to-back walks, throws first-pitch ball to next guy, then Ks three straight.

Balk on Pads pitcher Waldron. Candelario trots home. Reds 3, Padres 1, top 2

All 8 HR in last 20 games (homerless first nine games of season).

Elly De La Cruz now has 8 HR and 17 SB in April

he’s the 1st player with at least that many HR & SB in a calendar month (since at least 1901)

Knuckle this.

After swinging through a knuckleball, Elly De La Cruz drives 91mph fastball over CF fence for quick 1-0 Reds lead over Matt Waldron and Padres.

In 2024 in sports, everybody who’s anybody is being being called “generational” by somebody. The overuse of the term is rampant and comical.

Left-hander Brandon Williamson (shoulder), last year's promising rookie starter, is scheduled to start a minor-league rehab assignment with Arizona Complex League team on May 9, before advancing to Triple-A Louisville to conclude rehab assignment.

Reds' Encarnacion-Strand was getting MRI about 3 hours before game Monday as a precautionary move before anticipated availability off the bench tonight.

'He's feeling better, but we're just making sure,' manager David Bell said.
