The Cincinnati Reds had a 1-0 lead early, but it wasn't enough as they fell to the Cleveland Guardians 5-3 in the series opener at Great American Ball Park on Tuesday night.
In the first inning, it looked like the Reds offense was going to have a big night. TJ Friedl started the game off with a single to center field. Jeimer Candelario hit a double down the left-field line to score Friedl and give the Reds a 1-0 lead. The next batter, Spencer Steer hit a deep fly ball to center field that was caught at the wall by Tyler Freeman to save extra bases.
The Reds have had a lot of success this season when they start with an "opener" and bring in Martinez to follow. They tried that tonight with Brent Suter getting the start and pitching a scoreless first inning. Martinez entered in the second, pitching a scoreless inning before giving up three runs in the third inning. He went 1 2/3 innings, giving up four hits and three runs. He walked one and struck out two.
