Reds score two in the ninth for their third straight win
Miguel Andujar went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBIs, Noelvi Marte homered, doubled and drove in two runs, and Elly De La Cruz scored twice for Cincinnati, which won its 10th straight game against the Angels.
Luis Mey (2-0) picked up the win in relief and Tony Santillan notched his fourth save with two strikeouts during a 1-2-3 ninth. Hunter Greene, making his second start after missing a little over two months with a right groin strain, allowed three runs on six hits in 6 1/3 innings while tying a season high with 12 strikeouts. He threw 98 pitches, 74 for strikes.
Jo Adell hit two home runs and had three hits and Mike Trout went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored for Los Angeles. Kenley Jansen (5-3) suffered the loss, allowing two runs on two hits, a hit batter and a walk in one inning of relief.
Los Angeles took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Trout doubled with two outs and scored on a single by Taylor Ward.
Cincinnati tied it in the second on Marte's 10th home run, a 415-foot drive to dead center to extend his hit streak to 10 games.
The Reds took a 3-1 lead in the fourth. De La Cruz led off with a single and scored on a bloop double to left by Andujar. Austin Hays walked and Marte followed with an RBI double down the right field line.
Cincinnati extended the lead to 4-1 in the fifth when De La Cruz walked with two outs and, running on the pitch, scored from first on Andujar's single to right.
Los Angeles cut the lead to 4-3 in the seventh when Adell led off with a 452-foot homer to left-center and Zach Neto singled in Travis d'Arnaud, who had doubled.
Adell then tied it 4-4 with two out in the eighth with his second homer of the night -- a 371-foot line drive down the left field line -- off Mey. It was his 28th homer of the season.
The Reds then scored twice off Jansen to pull out the win in the ninth. Jose Trevino blooped a single with one out, went to second when Ke'Bryan Hayes was hit by a pitch and took third when pinch hitter Will Benson walked to load the bases. Friedl then drove in the game-winner with his sacrifice fly to center.

Scottie Scheffler says Tiger Woods showed him intensity needed to be the best
World number one Scottie Scheffler credits Tiger Woods for inspiring the crucial change to his game which has made him arguably the best golfer since the 15-time major winner's pomp. Scheffler won the US PGA and Open Championship this year, with three of his four majors coming in the last eight events, and also has three other PGA Tour victories in 2025. He is the last player since Woods to win five tournaments in back-to-back seasons and while he continues to play down comparisons, he does admit the influence of golf's modern great sparked a turning point in his own career. ' Tiger was just different in the sense of the way he approached each shot, it was like the last shot he was ever going to hit,' said Scheffler, who is attempting to become the first player to successfully defend a FedEx Cup title in the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta. 'I've only played with Tiger once in a tournament, in the 2020 Masters and I think he made a 10 on the 12th hole and then he birdied, I think, five of the last six. 'It was like 'What's this guy still playing for? He's won the Masters five times. Best finish he's going to have is like 20th place at this point'. 'I just admired the intensity that he brought to each round. That was something that I just thought about for a long time. 'I felt like a change I needed to make was bringing that same intensity to each round and each shot. 'I don't hit the ball the furthest, the things that I do on the golf course other people can do, so I think it's just the amount of consistency and the intensity that I bring to each round of golf – not taking shots off, not taking rounds off, not taking tournaments off. 'When I show up at a tournament, I'm here for a purpose and that's to compete hard and you compete hard on every shot.' Those are ominous words from a player who is currently top of the FedEx standings with almost twice as many points as second-placed Rory McIlroy. However, unlike previous years, when there were shots advantages to be earned from your place in the 30-man standings, every player now starts level par and the winner over four rounds wins not only the Tour Championship but the FedEx Cup and a 10 million US dollar (£7.4m) bonus. 'I'm maybe part of the minority. I didn't hate the starting strokes,' said McIlroy. 'I thought that the player that played the best during the course of the season should have had an advantage coming in here but the majority of people just didn't like the starting strokes. 'But you could also argue if it was starting strokes this week Scottie with a two-shot lead probably isn't enough considering what he's done this year and the lead that he has in the FedExCup going into this week.'

Awkward clip of Tom Brady flirting with 'beautiful' NFL reporter on Zoom emerges
A clip of Tom Brady complimenting a female reporter's hair before asking her where she is has emerged, with her seemingly posting the clip on TikTok before deleting it when it went viral. Brady gave an interview to Morgan Alston and Bleacher Report that was published back in June. The NFL great spoke to her over Zoom, discussing his own career in football, the athletes he admires and life after retiring in 2023. But earlier this week, Alston shared an outtake of Brady complimenting her appearance before the interview began. 'Morgan, I love your hair,' Brady says to her, where a producer is also seen on the call. 'Beautiful.' Alston was clearly thrilled with the compliment, responding: 'Thank you! It's a lot to deal with. When it's a good day, it's a good day. A lot to maintain.' Brady, 48, laughed and replied: 'Thatta girl. Where you at?' Tom Brady left this ESPN reporter blushing after complimenting her hair during a meeting �� — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) August 19, 2025 Footage of Tom Brady complimenting Morgan Alston on her 'beautiful' hair has surfaced Alston, believed to be around 25, tells Brady she is in Philadelphia before the clip ends. The kind words from Brady clearly meant something to Alston on a personal level. She posted the clip on TikTok earlier this week with the caption: 'To everyone who made fun of my hair growing up, wellll at least the TOM BRADY likes it.' Alson hasn't commented on precisely why she later deleted the post but it quickly surfaced across social media, with many interpreting Brady's remarks as a cringeworthy attempt at flirting. ''Where you at' bros sending the jet as we speak,' said one social media user on X, while another wrote: 'Tom Brady is going in for the kill.' Another observer commented: 'Man, Tom Brady's out here flirting on Zoom like he's still in the locker room. Does he think this is a dating app or what?' Others thought Brady came across well. One wrote: 'Brady is smooth. Still got game.' Earlier in the summer, Brady was linked romantically with Sofia Vergara after the seven-time Super Bowl champion was pictured sat next to the actress at Jeff Bezos' wedding. But Daily Mail reported in July that Brady didn't see a future with Vergara and had even allegedly said to friends that at age 53, she is too old for him. And recently, Brady was in the spotlight after seemingly taking a shot at his ex-wife, the Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, through a weekly newsletter that he has started writing. The couple announced their split in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage, amid Bundchen's open frustration at her legendary quarterback husband 'unretiring' from the NFL. 'Obviously, I have my concerns - this is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present,' Bundchen told Elle in September 2022. 'I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again. 'But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for them. He needs to follow his joy, too.' In July, Brady wrote in his newsletter: 'I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family. I chose to do it by playing football.' 'Remember, your children are watching everything. They see what you do in every aspect of your life and how you do it. 'Reading bedtime stories and helping them with homework are not the only ways to be a great parent. And neither is winning Super Bowls or MVPs. 'Being a great football player didn't make me a great dad, but how I became a great player certainly had an impact - from showing up day in and day out, to doing whatever it took to get better, be successful, be a role model, and to provide.' Brady is a little over two weeks away from the return of the NFL season, which means he'll be back in the commentary booth for Fox on year two of his 10-year, $375million deal as an analyst.
