Marte followed with a strikeout of his own.

Cincinnati's bullpen continues to struggle. With a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning, Tejay Antone gave up a two-run home run to Geraldo Perdomo. Like we mentioned above, Maxwell gave up a solo home run with the game tied at three.

Andrew Abbott gave up just one run on four hits over five innings. He walked three and struck out five, throwing 54 of his 95 pitches for strikes.

One thing the Reds have done well at Great American Ball Park is avoid getting swept. After taking Friday night's game against Arizona, Cincinnati has now gone 43 consecutive home series without being swept, their longest streak since a franchise-record run of 52 straight home series from 2011-13.

The Reds also managed to avoid being swept in all 26 home series during the 2025 season. Only a handful of teams in franchise history have gone an entire season at home without being broomed, making this stretch even more impressive.
