Cruz steals 49th base on Monday night
Elly De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with his 49th stolen base of the season on Monday in the Reds’ 4-1 victory over the Braves. De La Cruz was at the epicenter of Cincinnati’s offensive production in this one, coming around to score on Jeimer Candelario’s first-inning sacrifice fly shortly after smacking a one-out triple off Braves starter Reynaldo López. He also delivered a two-out single and raced around the bases to score on Candelario’s third-inning double before drawing a walk and stealing his 49th base of the year a couple frames later. The 22-year-old speedster is the most electrifying hitter in the game at the moment and has a realistic shot at winding up somewhere in the neighborhood of 75 stolen bases.
Rain postpones Reds-Braves matchup on Tuesday
Tuesday’s game between the Reds and Braves has been postponed due to inclement weather. With rain in the forecast throughout the evening in Atlanta, there simply wasn’t a clear window to get this one in. It’ll be made up as a split doubleheader on Wednesday instead. Tuesday’s original starting pitchers — Nick Martinez and Chris Sale — will presumably be pushed back to take the ball at some point during Wednesday’s twin bill at Truist Park.
