Reds Rout Orioles 24-2 for Historic Victory

The Cincinnati Reds routed the Baltimore Orioles 24-2 on Sunday, achieving their largest margin of victory since 1911. Reds hitters amassed 25 hits, with Noelvi Marte delivering a grand slam and seven RBIs, and Austin Wynns adding a career-high six RBIs and a home run. Marte and Wynns set a modern-era record for most hits by players batting eighth and ninth in a lineup. Every Reds starter had at least one hit as the Orioles' pitching faltered, with five Baltimore pitchers each giving up at least three runs. This blowout came one day after the Orioles beat the Reds 9-5, a game highlighted by Ramón Laureano's two home runs. While the Orioles' offense remains strong, their pitching issues were exposed by the Reds' breakout performance.
