"There's so much less certainty of the grouping near the top," said Reds director of amateur scouting, Joe Katuska said.

Santiago Espinal led off the ninth inning with a double to left field. After a TJ Friedl was retired and Matt McLain struck out, the Rockies intentionally walked Elly De La Cruz for the third time of the night, and Austin Hays struck out to end the game.

As the Cincinnati Reds try to claw back into the playoffs, and with the Cleveland Guardians' tumble, they should consider trading for their All-Star outfielder.

The Rockies had multiple heroes and they needed every one of them in their 3-2 win over the Reds on Friday night at Great American Ball Park.

For the first time in three years, it seems unlikely that the Reds will select a right-hander from Wake Forest with their first pick.

Colorado right hander Germán Márquez struck out a season-high eight batters to outduel Reds rookie right hander Chase Burns as the Rockies snapped a three-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory.

That'd be a massive deal from one end of Ohio to the other.

To borrow Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s famous quote, for Cincinnati Reds outfielder Austin Hays it was, “A day which will live in infamy.”

Spencer Steer homered and Nick Lodolo pitched six strong innings as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Miami Marlins 6-0 to earn a split in the four-game series.
