The Reds' performance was highlighted by their strategic prowess in the second and fifth innings where they scored all their runs. In the second inning alone, they managed to put two runs on the board followed by another run in the fifth inning. This offensive effort was backed by a solid pitching performance that limited the Yankees to just five hits and two runs across nine innings.


Andrew Abbott emerged as a key player for the Reds, securing his eighth win of the season with an ERA of 1.421 and WHIP of 1.1053 over more than six innings pitched. His ability to maintain a low OBP against (.269) played a significant role in stifling Yankee hitters.
