Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene was still in Los Angeles Friday night, pending one more meeting with specialists before returning to Cincinnati.

And not even the Cincinnati Reds' designated "mudder" could save them from an 11-5 beating by the Detroit Tigers in the opener of a three-game series against the best team in baseball this year. Start the day smarter.

In between three IL stints this season Reds LF Austin Hays is hitting .303 with 6 homers and a .901 OPS in 31 games.

"All I can do is go out there and do the best I can for my team every day, and the rest will take care of itself," Cincinnati Reds CF TJ Friedl said.

Gleyber Torres homered twice and Riley Greene drove in four runs to help the Detroit Tigers beat the Cincinnati Reds 11-5 on a rainy Friday night.

1952 Warren Spahn of the Boston Braves struck out 18 Cubs in a 3-1, 15-inning loss to Chicago. Spahn also homered. 1953 The New York Yankees swept Cleveland 6-2 and 3-0 to extend the team's winning streak to 18 consecutive games.

The event, featuring dancing umpires, singing princesses, and surprise guests, drew fans from around the world.

Neither of the past two trade deadlines had much action for the Reds, and it might not be that different of a story in 2025.
