Jack Kochanowicz (2-0) only allowed one run and two hits over seven innings. Soler also had a two-out double in the third before scoring on Yoan Moncada's infield single for a 2-0 lead. Neto's fifth home run of the season made it 4-0 and Lowe, who was batting .091 (3 for 33) coming in, homered over the left-field wall in the sixth for a 5-1 lead. Los Angeles improved to .500 or better after 14 games for a sixth straight season, and eighth of nine. Cincinnati's Chase Burns (1-1) gave up five earned runs, seven hits and four walks over 5 1/3 innings. Sal Stewart entered leading all rookies with 16 hits, eight extra-base hits, and 32 total bases before going 0 for 3 against the Angels. Eugenio Surez had Cincinnati's only hit through four and he added the Reds' second hit on a single in the sixth. Elly De La Cruz hit his fourth homer of the season in the ninth. Los Angeles' last win in Cincinnati came on April 1, 2013, in the first interleague Opening Day game in MLB history.
