De La Cruz’s 4 hits, career-high 7 RBIs lead Reds to 14-3 rout of Rangers
CINCINNATI — Elly De La Cruz had a single, double and two residence runs for a career-high seven RBIs, Brady Singer pitched seven scoreless innings in his Cincinnati debut, and the Reds routed the Texas Rangers 14-3 on Monday night time.
Singer, who was acquired in November from the Kansas Metropolis Royals, grew to become the primary Reds pitcher with seven-plus scoreless innings in a debut since Tom Seaver on June 18, 1977, towards Montreal. The 28-year-old right-hander struck out eight, walked two and allowed one hit.
De La Cruz hit a three-run residence run to middle for a 6-0 lead within the second inning. It was his first homer of the season. He added a two-run shot within the seventh.
The Reds batted round within the sixth to double their result in 12-0. The 14 runs had been Cincinnati’s most since a 19-2 victory over St. Louis on Sept. 29, 2023.
Rookie Kumar Rocke allowed six earned runs in three innings for Texas . Jake Burger hit his first residence run for the Rangers within the ninth.
Cincinnati first baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand was hit by a pitch on the wrist within the sixth. He stayed within the dugout for the seventh.
Matt McLain, who missed the 2024 season with a shoulder damage, hit his third residence run of the season to provide Cincinnati a 2-0 lead within the first. Gavin Lux added an RBI double for the Reds’ fourth straight hit to begin the sport and a 3-0 lead.
Cincinnati entered as one in all two groups with no steal try this season earlier than De La Cruz’s broke the streak within the first inning.
The collection resumes Tuesday when the Reds ship right-hander Carson Spiers towards RHP Nathan Eovaldi , who’s coming off his second opening-day begin in a row for Texas.
