From the outset, the Reds showed their intent to control the game. They opened scoring in the first inning with one run off two hits and maintained pressure throughout the early stages of the game. By the end of the fourth inning, they had extended their lead to 4-0, capitalizing on three hits in that inning alone. The team's hitting statistics were impressive; they amassed twelve hits over nine innings and demonstrated strategic batting by converting three out of eleven opportunities with runners in scoring position into runs.

The bullpen also contributed effectively despite allowing one run; they managed to strike out three batters across two innings.

The Rockies struggled offensively throughout most of this matchup but managed to avoid a shutout by scoring their only run in ninth inning thanks to two hits during that frame. However, their effort was not enough to mount a comeback against Cincinnati's solid pitching and defense.
