Eugenio Suárez Homers, Reds Overcome Loss of Elly De La Cruz to Hold Off Braves 6-4
Suárez ended a 25-game absence with his first homer since April 15, and Lodolo worked 6 2/3 innings as Cincinnati snapped a three-game skid.
The Cincinnati Reds earned a 6-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, with Eugenio Suarez homering and driving in two runs while JJ Bleday contributed a pair of RBI doubles.
Cincinnati snapped a three-game losing streak and avoided being swept at home for the first time since August 2024, a span of 40 consecutive series without a home sweep.
Ronald Acuna hit a 438-foot leadoff home run while Jorge Mateo added a 425-foot solo shot, but P.J. Higgins countered with an RBI double off Didier Fuentes pushing Cincinnati's lead to 5-3.
Elly De La Cruz exited in the fifth inning with right hamstring tightness, while left-hander Sam Moll secured his first save by forcing Matt Olson to ground out with bases loaded.
RHP Chase Burns is scheduled to start Monday for the Reds against the Royals, while RPH Bryce Elder takes the mound Tuesday for the Braves against the Blue Jays.
