Cincinnati Defeated By Rays, 4-2
Tampa Bay Rays starter Chris Stephenson pitched well against the Cincinnati Reds at Tropicana Field, leading his team to a win, 4-2. The winning pitcher was Stephenson, now 1-0. He tossed 7 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 0 and fanning 3. The save went to Joe Montgomery, his 8th this season.

Had Bobby Davenport not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Davenport hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Rays.

"That's how you're going to be successful," said Rays manager Joey Cora. "It starts with pitching and it will always be pitching."

The Reds drop to 10-15, as their fitful start to the 2026 campaign continues.
