Senzel’s clutch catch, homer carry Cincinnati forward of essential collection in Milwaukee

58 minutes in the past

WASHINGTON — The Reds had no intention of wanting previous the last-place Nationals this week, regardless of there being a collection of a lot better consequence towards the division rival Brewers simply forward. That hasn’t been their mode of working all season.

That confirmed on Thursday afternoon as Cincinnati accomplished a four-game collection sweep of Washington with a 5-4 victory in 10 innings that additionally featured a one-hour, 43-minute rain delay. On the heels of a game-saving catch within the backside of the ninth, Nick Senzel slugged a two-run dwelling run within the high of the tenth for the Reds’ fifth consecutive win — their eighth prior to now 9 video games and twentieth of 24.

“It was essential for us to focus game-to-game right here, particularly this final one,” Senzel said. “There was a loopy delay, only a sluggish tempo, scorching, humid — simply how D.C. is. We saved combating till the top. We knew how essential it was to care for enterprise.”

First-place Cincinnati, now 10 video games over .500 at 49-39, secured its Major League-leading thirty second come-from-behind win. The membership was trailing, 3-2, within the eighth inning when Will Benson led off with a double down the left-field line. Pinch-hitting with one out, Joey Votto lined a game-tying RBI single to proper discipline.

In the underside of the ninth with a runner on second base and one out, Senzel made a clumsy leaping catch on the right-field fence to rob CJ Abrams of a possible game-winning RBI hit.

“I was set up to play a slice. I had a good bead on it,” Senzel said. “I tried to make a play and was not really worried about the wall or anything.”

“For that ball to have the ability to stick in his glove like that, he has nice arms wherever he’s on the sector — however with the sport on the road, that’s the sport proper there,” Reds supervisor David Bell mentioned. “It’s just wanting the ball to be hit to you and wanting to be the guy to make a play right there.”

Leading off the tenth towards Hunter Harvey, Senzel attacked a first-pitch fastball for a two-run homer, his seventh of the season, to left discipline to carry the Reds to their first four-game collection sweep since August 2021.

In the fifth inning, Senzel was taking part in heart discipline when he and proper fielder Will Benson miscommunicated on a Riley Adams one-out fly. It dropped in and finally led to 2 runs.

“I felt like I screwed up and had to make up for it. I tried to just help us win,” Senzel said. “I felt terrible about the fly ball dropping and the miscommunication. Luckily, I was the guy to come through and get us a nice sweep.”

While half of the season nonetheless stays, Cincinnati has reached probably the most essential and defining parts of its schedule. It may both legitimize the crew’s standing as National League Central contenders or exploit its shortcomings.

The Reds, who maintain a two-game division lead, play the second-place Brewers of their subsequent six video games and 9 of their subsequent 16. That stretch begins with three video games this weekend at Milwaukee and three extra in Cincinnati popping out of the All-Star break. Another collection at Milwaukee is forward from July 24-26. 

After that, there might be no extra possibilities on the schedule to face the Brewers.

“It’s not going to end there, but it could really shift or shape the rest of the way,” Bell mentioned. “The one thing that makes me feel really good is that we’re not going to change our approach.”

During the groups’ first assembly from June 2-5 at Great American Ball Park, the Brewers took three of 4 video games within the collection.

It might come throughout as cliché, however one purpose the shocking Reds have thrived this season has been their skill to not look again, look ahead or make an excessive amount of of the significance of anyone collection. It actually is one sport at a time. 

“We don’t think a lot about playing ahead,” second baseman Jonathan India mentioned. “I think that ruins a lot of what we’re trying to do here [with] everyone’s mindset of winning today and only today. But when it all comes down to it, it’s important. We can’t worry about that.”

That mindset was on show all through Thursday. 

“To win four games on the road against this team — just another example,” Bell said. “Today, it took everything. It really did. Guys just continued to make plays and stay with it, stay with it no matter what happened. That’s what you have to do.”
