Reds Swept, De La Cruz Shines Alone | Cincinnati Reds News

The Reds got absolutely demolished by the Dodgers, losing all three games in a 22-6 rout that exposed their offensive woes — except for Elly De La Cruz, who blasted homers in every game, including off a Cy Young ace. With six rookies on the field in Game 3, the team’s lack of depth and consistency is glaring. They’re now eight games under .500 and fading from playoff contention, though they’re setting some alarming franchise records — like De La Cruz’s 26 home runs — while inching closer to a historic losing streak. This isn’t about contending now; it’s about building for the future with young stars like Chase Burns and Sal Stewart, hoping next year brings real progress.
