First Inning


The opening inning set an early tone as the Snakes took advantage of their home field with a strong start. The D-Backs scored three runs on four hits, immediately putting pressure on Cincinnati's pitching staff. Despite this early setback, Reds' starter Andrew Abbott managed to prevent further damage in subsequent innings.


Third Inning


By the third inning, Arizona extended their lead with two more runs. The Big Red Machine struggled offensively during this period, managing only one hit from Elly De La Cruz. Meanwhile, Abbott's pitching was tested as he allowed two additional runs before being relieved.


Fifth Inning


In an attempt to shift momentum in their favor during the fifth inning, Cincinnati's bullpen stepped up but couldn't completely stifle Arizona’s bats. The D-Backs added another run through consistent hitting and strategic base running.


Eighth Inning


The eighth inning saw some action from both sides; however, it was too late for any significant comeback from Cincinnati. TJ Friedl managed to score one run for the Reds after hitting a double and being driven home by Austin Hays’ single—one of his four hits throughout this matchup.


Despite these efforts from key players like Friedl and Hays who showed resilience at bat amidst adversity—the overall lackluster performance hindered any chance of turning things around against such formidable opponents as demonstrated through various game-changing plays between these teams throughout each segment played out here today!
