In Game 2, the Reds hit their first two home runs of the season, a category where they'll want to crack the MLB top 10 this season.
Surprisingly, the Reds were slight favorites at odds of around -120, but no more than that, to win Game 2 against the Giants. The Reds lost Game 1, but Verlander, the oldest active player in American sports, would start for the Giants in Game 2. His three Cy Young Awards command respect. Even so, McLain, who had missed the entire 2024 season, hit a home run against him in a game the Reds would win 3-2 with another solo home run by Encarnacion-Strand in the bottom of the sixth.
Lodolo had a solid 6.0-inning start, striking out only one batter, while De la Cruz went 1-for-4 but drove in a key run.
Another duel between pitchers who have had their fair share of good moments in the past will take place in Game 3 when Robbie Ray and Nick Martinez face off. Ray faced the Reds in 2024 on August 4 and had a strong start, striking out nine in five innings.
