Cincinnati Reds Defeat Seattle Mariners 8-4, Ending Streak

The Cincinnati Reds defeated the Seattle Mariners 8-4 on Tuesday, highlighted by Austin Hays driving in four runs during his season debut, including a three-run homer in the fifth inning. Mariners pitcher Luis Castillo struggled in his first career start against his former team, allowing six runs over 4.1 innings. Dylan Moore provided most of Seattle's offense with two home runs and four RBIs, but the Mariners' late threat was stifled. Rookie Ben Williamson recorded his first major league hit and run for Seattle, while Gavin Lux contributed four hits for Cincinnati, and Matt McLain returned from injury to walk three times and score twice. Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo gave up four runs in 4.2 innings, and Scott Barlow earned the win in relief. The following day, the Mariners snapped the Reds' four-game win streak with a 5-3 victory, despite a late Cincinnati comeback attempt.
