- Team achieved a three-game road sweep against the Twins.

The Cincinnati Reds secured a thrilling extra-inning victory against the Minnesota Twins, coming from behind with crucial late-game rallies. Trailing for most of the contest, the Reds erupted for three runs in the ninth inning to briefly take the lead, and added three more in the tenth to seal a 7-4 win.
This improbable comeback marked the Reds' second series sweep of the season and underscored their strong start, holding a 14-8 record. Key plays included TJ Friedl's bases-loaded double in the ninth and a costly error by the Twins' third baseman in the tenth that allowed the go-ahead run to score. The game concluded dramatically with a challenged call at home plate.
Starting pitcher Brady Singer delivered another quality start, despite early struggles. Closer Emilio Pagán secured his sixth save, overcoming a recent hamstring issue and previously allowing his first run since April 1.
Offensively, the Reds, who have been the majors' lowest-scoring team, showcased significant power in their late-inning surge, demonstrating their potential for dramatic turnarounds.
