Reds Sweep A's with Home Run Fury | MLB News

The Reds crushed the A’s 6-5 in a thrilling showdown, completing their first sweep since 2010 and inching closer to a wild card spot. Four solo homers—including Elly De La Cruz’s leadoff blast and Sal Stewart’s 25th of the year—combined with two clutch walks with the bases loaded, turned the tide. Stewart’s homer tied him for second all-time among Reds rookies. JJ Bleday’s seventh-inning shot sealed it. Despite shaky starts from both pitchers—Abbott gave up three runs in the fourth, Alvarado walked two with the bases loaded in the fifth—the Reds pulled off the win. Now headed to D.C. for a series against the Nationals, they’ll look to keep the momentum going when the clock hits 6:45 PM.
