Reds Rally Past A's With McLain Homer | MLB News

Matt McLain’s clutch homer and Rhett Lowder’s long-awaited first win since April propelled the Reds to a 3-2 victory over the skidding Athletics, pushing their record over .500 for the season. Lowder pitched six strong innings, allowing just two earned runs, while Emilio Pagán locked it down with his 13th save. The A’s, reeling with their seventh straight loss, struck first with a leadoff homer but couldn’t hold off the Reds’ rally. McLain’s fifth-inning blast gave Cincinnati the edge, and Noelvi Marte’s hustle—including a stolen base and run—helped ignite the offense. With the series finale looming, the Reds aim to keep rolling while the A’s desperately seek their first win in weeks.
