Reds Ready For Surreal Season






Matt Davison hit a home run off John Schrieber and six Reds' pitchers made it stand up for eight innings.  Travis Jankowski singled home the winning run in the Reds' 2-1 win over the Detroit Tigers.

Jose De Leon, Brooks Raley, R.J. Alaniz, Matt Bowman and Sal Romano, limited the Tigers two hits until the eighth.  Jorge Bonifacio singled in Willi Castro with the tying run in the top of the eighth off Joel Kuhnel in the eighth to set up Jankowski's single as the game winner.

Robert Stephenson retired the Tigers in order in the ninth to earn the save, striking out Victor Reyes to finish off the visitors.

Phil Ervin, Joey Votto, Amir Garrett and Alex Blandino took a knee during the National Anthem in support of Black Lives Matter.

The Reds open the 60-game season with the Tigers at 6:10 pm Friday, 5:10 on Saturday and 1:10 on Sunday.
