In his debut for the Cincinnati Reds, Austin Hays made a significant impact by driving in four runs, including a three-run home run, leading the Reds to an 8-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners. The game, played at Great American Ball Park in front of 17,205 attendees, saw Hays hit his first home run as a Red, a crucial three-run shot in the fifth inning that gave Cincinnati a 6-4 lead. The Reds' win marked their fourth consecutive victory and their sixth in the last seven games, bringing their record to 9-8 and pushing them over the .500 threshold. Hays' performance included two hits and four RBIs, making his debut one of the most memorable in recent Reds history. Other contributors included Gavin Lux, who went 4-for-4 with two RBIs, and Nick Lodolo, who started on the mound for the Reds. On the Mariners' side, Dylan Moore hit a leadoff home run and later added a two-run homer, but it was not enough to overcome the Reds' offensive surge. The Reds' bullpen, including Alexis Diaz, Graham Ashcraft, and Emilio Pagán, managed to secure the victory. In the eighth inning, Jake Fraley, Jose Trevino, T.J. Friedl, Matt McLain, and Elly De La Cruz contributed to adding insurance runs. The Reds are set to face the Mariners again with Nick Martinez starting against Seattle's Bryce Miller.
