It came at the hands of the mighty Los Angeles Dodgers, and the loss officially eliminated the Reds from postseason contention with roughly two weeks of games left to be played as they finally dipped to 10 games under .500.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Of course that\u2019s how this season\u2019s final nail was hit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Anyway, while the Reds lost 4-1 after Tarik Skubal sliced and diced their eyeballs all night, at least superstar Elly De La Cruz managed to show the rest of the world that he, at still just 24 years of age, is about to be the single most dominant force on a baseball diamond for a handful of years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">He just recently wrapped up a stretch of homering in five straight games. If how hard he hit his 457 foot blast out of GABP tonight is any indication, he may well be en route to finishing the 2026 season as a whole on a similar tear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This one went out of GABP altogether.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Too bad it just missed taking the Toyota Tacoma with it along the ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cincinnati Reds lost again on Monday night, this time back home in Great American Ball Park.
