The Cincinnati Reds opened the 2026 season with a 3-0 loss to Garrett Crochet and the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Reds starter Andrew Abbott matched Crochet's six scoreless innings, even if he did it in a different way. Sal Stewart had three hits, but the downside was the team as a hole had just four hits (Elly De La Cruz had the other). C. Trent Rosecrans of the Athletic and Reds Hall of Famer Danny Graves discuss the game, the pitchers and how ABS changed the game.

The Reds left Arizona on Sunday, but couldn't get out of Arizona without another injury, this one is a blister on the finger of Nick Lodolo. What does that mean for the Reds? It's to be determined, but the team was planning to start the season with six starters for five spots, so maybe it's five for five now. The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans and Reds Hall of Famer Danny Graves look back at spring training ahead of Opening Day.

Danny also has advice on how to avoid blisters... IYKYK

Also, the entire world now knows what we know — Eugenio Suárez is an international treasure. The Reds' DH had the biggest hit in Venezuelan baseball history and because it was Geno, everyone was happy for him and his country.
