The Cincinnati Reds edged the Boston Red Sox 3-2 on Sunday at Great American Ball Park to win the Opening series two games to one. Rhett Lowder earned the win in a gutsy performance.

Lowder Delivers

Lowder gave the Reds exactly what they needed in the series finale, keeping Boston's offense in check and giving Cincinnati a chance to win. The right-hander continued to show he's fully recovered from the injuries that cost him 2025.

Series Secured

After the Opening Day shutout, the Reds won back-to-back games to take the series. The 2-1 start gives Cincinnati early momentum as they prepare to host the Pittsburgh Pirates starting Monday.
