Rookie Rece Hinds made a historic entrance into Major League Baseball by hitting two lengthy home runs in his first two career games and nearly completing a cycle in his second game. He became the first MLB player to record five extra-base hits in his initial two games, propelling the Cincinnati Reds to a 12-6 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Tyler Stephenson and Will Benson also contributed with home runs. Despite a rain delay and a challenging performance from starter Nick Lodolo, the Reds' bullpen secured the win. The Rockies, struggling on the road with the worst record in the National League, saw standout performances from Brenton Doyle with two homers. Additionally, the Reds have bolstered their roster with new acquisitions and injury returns, including Hunter Greene being named to the National League All-Star team.
