The Cincinnati Reds (42-39) fell to the New York Yankees (46-34) 7-1 on Wednesday night at Great American Ball Park.

Here are our postgame takeaways:

Singer Pitched Better Than Numbers Showed

Brady Singer pitched better than what his numbers showed. A couple of defensive misplays and a home run by Jazz Chisholm Jr. on a well-located pitch did him in.

The right-hander gave up four runs on six hits over five innings. He walked three batters and struck out a season high nine.

Ian Gibaut followed Singer and gave up two runs on three hits in 2/3 of an inning.

Max Fried Dominated Reds Offense

Fried was in control the whole night against the Cincinnati offense. He gave up just one unearned run on four hits in seven innings. He walked a batter and struck out seven.

The Reds' lone run came in the fourth inning when Elly De La Cruz scored on a single by Spencer Steer after a throwing error by Chisholm Jr.

The Reds offense had just four hits all night long.
