Reds' De La Cruz Achieves 7 RBIs, 14-3 Win Over Rangers

In a dominant performance, Elly De La Cruz led the Cincinnati Reds to a 14-3 rout over the Texas Rangers, hitting two home runs and achieving a career-high seven RBIs. This marked De La Cruz's first game using the trendy torpedo bat, which he described as feeling 'really good,' despite being new to him. Brady Singer, making his Cincinnati debut, pitched seven scoreless innings, becoming the first Reds pitcher since Tom Seaver in 1977 to achieve this feat in a debut. De La Cruz's strong showing included a three-run homer and a two-run shot, significantly boosting his season stats and igniting excitement for his potential as an MVP candidate. The Reds' offensive outburst was their highest run total since a 19-2 win over St. Louis last September. This victory comes after a challenging start to the season, providing a much-needed lift for the team.
