- The Cincinnati Reds face the Kansas City Royals for the final game of their series at Kauffman Stadium on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, with the first pitch at 7:40 p.m. ET. The Reds won their first two matchups with scores of 7-4 and 7-2 and now seek to complete the series sweep.
Ex-Kansas City pitcher Brady Singer delivered a performance that helped the Reds secure a 7-2 victory against his previous team on Tuesday. Traded to the Cincinnati Reds from Kansas City in November Singer limited his former team to two runs across seven innings while striking out three batters and walking one to achieve his sixth win this season. The Reds' offensive strength came from Elly De La Cruz who hit two solo home runs making this his second multi-home run game this season. Tyler Stephenson hit a home run while TJ Friedl compiled his fifth straight game with multiple hits. Santiago Espinal generated an RBI double while Spencer Steer brought in an RBI through a bases-loaded walk. Over two games in this series the Reds have scored a total of 14 runs.
Hunter Greene (4-2, 2.54 ERA) will take the mound for the Reds in the series finale as their starting pitcher. As a dependable member of the rotation Hunter Greene's performance becomes key to achieving the sweep. The Royals will send left-hander Noah Cameron (1-1, 0.93 ERA) to the mound who demonstrated promise during his few appearances this season.
The Reds' offensive production has been driven by Elly De La Cruz who has hit 11 home runs this season to match Pete Rose's team record for switch-hitters through five multi-homer games. The Royals face difficulties in producing runs and have averaged only 2.7 runs during their past 16 games while enduring a 5-11 losing streak.
I'll be taking the Reds here on Wednesday to sweep the series against Kansas City.
