Reds Edge Out Royals in Thrilling Interleague Showdown

CINCINNATI, OH — In a dramatic interleague clash at Great American Ball Park, the Cincinnati Reds narrowly defeated the Kansas City Royals 5-4 in a back-and-forth battle that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the final out.

The Reds struck first with a two-run homer from third baseman Jeimer Candelario in the third inning, but the Royals responded quickly in the fourth with a three-run blast by Salvador Perez, putting Kansas City ahead. Cincinnati tied it up in the fifth thanks to an RBI single from Elly De La Cruz, whose blazing speed also helped manufacture a crucial run in the seventh inning.

The game’s turning point came in the eighth when Reds reliever Fernando Cruz struck out Royals star Bobby Witt Jr. with the bases loaded, preserving a one-run lead. Closer Alexis Díaz then shut the door in the ninth, securing the win despite a tense two-out double by Kansas City’s Vinnie Pasquantino.
