Reds Clipped Late by Angels

The Cincinnati Reds were locked in a tightrope game in Anaheim, but the Angels found the final push to claim a 2-1 victory. Luis Rengifo’s eighth-inning RBI single proved to be the deciding swing.

Nick Martinez kept the Reds steady with six strong innings, allowing just two hits, while Noelvi Marte delivered the team’s lone RBI in the third. But despite seven hits, Cincinnati couldn’t cash in with runners in key spots.

The loss dropped the Reds to 67-61, a game they’ll quickly look to flush as they stay in the thick of the National League Wild Card chase. With a travel day before a crucial series in Arizona, Cincinnati will aim to recharge and be ready to rev the engines again.
