The Cincinnati Reds delivered a stunning performance against the Baltimore Orioles, winning 24-2 and setting multiple franchise records. They capitalized on a depleted Orioles pitching staff, scoring in six of the first eight innings and recording 25 hits, the most for the team since 1999. Backup catcher Austin Wynns became the fifth player since 1900 to achieve six hits in a single game, while teammate Noelvi Marte added five hits, including a grand slam. The Reds drew 11 walks in the game, matching their highest total since 2020, and improved their season record to 11-11.

Despite the win, Reds manager Terry Francona emphasized the need to stay focused and not dwell on the past. This victory also marked the third time in franchise history that two teammates had five hits in the same game. The Reds are finding their rhythm at the right time, with strong contributions from players like Elly De La Cruz, who not only homered but made an impressive diving catch, showcasing the team's growing confidence.
