CINCINNATI REDS AT CLEVELAND GUARDIANS
GAME ID: 1252 - SATURDAY, MAY 16TH , 2026 - GAME LOG
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Cincinnati Reds (24-22) 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 7 2
Cleveland Guardians (22-25) 0 2 0 0 5 0 0 2 X 9 11 1
Guardians Bank 9-2 Win
Though he had a great game, José Parra could not single-handedly produce a win for Cincinnati. Cleveland won the game, 9-2. Parra went 3 for 3 with a home run, a triple, and a walk, while scoring 2 times. The Guardians now have a record of 22-25 with the win over Cincinnati.

Tyrone Taylor had a big bases-clearing double for the Guardians in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Cleveland leading 2-1 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from Chris Sale, who finished 3rd in the AL in strikeouts with 226 in 2013, and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 8th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Guardians ahead, 5-1.

Said losing manager Kevin Cash: "It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique the pitching, but the bottom line is we need to score runs."
