Since returning from injury Emilio Pagan has posted a 1.93 ERA with 15 strikeouts and 5 saves across his last 9.1 innings. What a bounce back.

Tonight the Reds bullpen was electric, a combined 3-hit shutout from Ferguson, Garcia, Franco, Antone, and Pagán. But in the 17 innings before that, they had a 1.06 ERA, 4 saves, and ERA of 1.06, were 2-0, and had a LOB% of 98.6. Those numbers will only improve after tonight’s nice victory.

[@Reds] Sal Stewart is the first Reds rookie to have at least 20+ RBI in 3 different calendar months in a season

I know it’s a niche stat but it’s something the Reds love to post. Other highlights from game one:

Sal had two hits and a homer (his 22nd).
 
Tyler Stephenson had 2 more hits to raise his average to .248 – and he’s hitting .323 over his last 30 games.
 
Elly also had 2 hits and is now at .280 on the year, the highest mark of his career.

[@Trags] Duke Tobin says there haven’t been distractions that take away from the team this off-season

This is something Bengals fans have waited a long time for and it’s a huge part of why optimism is so high.

Our guys need to stay healthy through camps and the preseason and if that happens this will go down as one of the best offseasons we have seen this front office have.

Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox on the Bengals’ Most Promising Building Block Entering 2026: Amarius Mims, who allowed zero sacks and posted a 76.6 PFF run-blocking grade from Weeks 12-18 last year.

A lot of folks outside of our fandom like to dump on the Bengals offensive line, but I think that It will be one of the most underrated units next year.

[@JoeTipton] Michigan freshman Lincoln Cosby is staying at Michigan despite Dusty May’s departure, he told @Rivals. The 6-9 forward was a top-50 overall recruit in the 2026 class.

Glad to see another young player stay. Once he’s back from his ACL injury hopefully he can be an impact player for us. He’s certainly got the talent for it.

Nice to see a bit of the old TJ Friedl today: 2/3 with a homer and 2 RBIs. Also of note, Jose Trevino also went 3/4 with a HR and Sal hit one as well.

Also, per @RedsDaily4 on X, Sal Stewart’s first-inning home run came off a 102.3 MPH fastball — the fastest pitch by a starting pitcher to ever be hit for a home run in the Statcast era (since 2015).

Sending some good thoughts to Dane after this play.

But in all seriousness the hell did he catch that?

MICHIGAN IS THE ONLY SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY TO HAVE A PLAYER SELECTED IN EACH OF THE 2026 NBA, NFL AND NHL DRAFTS

It has been a great time to be a Wolverine fan this past year, we’ve seen a ton of great teams and players. I still personally think Yaxel Lendeborg was the most fun to watch given his background and what he was able to accomplish at Michigan.

Mara is a close second after how he was rotting on the bench at UCLA and became a lottery pick for us.

Eugenio Suarez launches a bomb on the Reds last strike to get a series win over the Pirates!

Suarez had been struggling in June but this was a clutch homer and just like that the Reds have taken a series on the road against a division opponent.
 
Hats off also to Jose Trevino for his big day as well as Chase Petty for his first MLB save!

This evening the Reds bullpen pitched 3.2 scoreless innings. In their last 45 innings pitched they are 5th in ERA (2.98) 4th in hits allowed (31) and 5th in k/bb ratio (6.7) during that span.

The bullpen, despite the injuries, has had a great turnaround these past few weeks.
