Abbott's Shutout Lifts Reds Over Guardians, 1-0

Andrew Abbott pitched his first career complete-game shutout, allowing just three hits and striking out five, as the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Cleveland Guardians 1-0. This was the Reds' first nine-inning shutout since 2021 and extended their winning streak to five games, keeping them unbeaten against Cleveland this season. Spencer Steer provided the game's only run with an RBI single in the fifth inning. The Reds' defense contributed key plays, including a seventh-inning diving catch by Jake Fraley and a leaping grab from TJ Friedl. José Ramírez extended his on-base streak to 36 games for the Guardians, but Abbott's late-inning composure preserved the win. With this victory, the Reds moved above .500 and will look for a series sweep in the next game.
