On Tuesday night, the Cleveland Guardians secured a first-round bye in the postseason with a 6-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, fueled by Lane Thomas's two-run homer and Josh Naylor's two RBIs. Tanner Bibee earned the win with a solid performance, allowing just one run over seven innings.

The Reds, now under interim manager Freddie Benavides, saw Spencer Steer contribute with an RBI single but struggled against the Guardians' pitching. Cleveland's victory improved their impressive home record as they prepare for the AL Division Series.
