First Inning

The Reds set the tone early in the first inning by scoring three runs on three hits. This explosive start was highlighted by Elly De La Cruz's impressive performance, as he continued to be a key player for Cincinnati. His ability to get on base and drive in runs was instrumental in building an early lead against the South Siders. The White Sox struggled to respond offensively, going hitless through the first four innings.

Middle Innings
