Reds and Red Sox suspended because of rain, will finish as part of day-night doubleheader Wednesday
BOSTON (AP) — The middle game of the three-game series between the Cincinnati Reds and Boston was suspended because of rain with the Red Sox leading 2-1 heading into the fourth inning Tuesday night and will resume as part of a day-night doubleheader.
The postponed game will resume at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, and the series finale is set for 7:10 p.m.
Play was stopped after lightning was seen in the area, causing umpires to clear the field. Rain started shortly after, and the suspended was announced after 1 hour, 20 minutes.
Jarren Duran led off the first with a double off Brady Singer and scored on Roman Anthony's double that put Boston in front. Carlos Narvaez added a one-out RBI single.
Cincinnati opened the third inning with back-to-back singles by Will Benson and Christian Encarnacion-Strand off Richard Fitts, and Matt McClain hit an RBI groundout. Up Next
Cincinnati RHP Nick Martinez (5-8, 4.12 ERA) is set to start the scheduled game Wednesday, his first start since losing a no-hit bid in the ninth inning last week against San Diego. RHP Brayan Bello (3-3, 3.41) is slated to start for the Red Sox.

The Boston Celtics should avoid a Jaylen Brown trade
The Boston Celtics are in a tough spot. Even after trading away Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, and seeing Luke Kornet leave for the San Antonio Spurs in free agency, Boston is still marginally over the second apron courtesy of the decision to sign Josh Minott. If Stevens is genuinely looking to reduce the current payroll, he may be forced to part with Jaylen Brown. The 2024 NBA Finals MVP is entering the second year of a five-year, $285 million contract. He will earn $53.1 million next season, and that number will continue to increase year-on-year. During a recent episode of WEEI's "Jones and Keefe" podcast, hosts Adam Jones and Meghan Ottolini share their thoughts on why trading Brown would be a mistake for Boston. They explain how his skill set helps the Celtics and why Brown shouldn't be part of any trade discussions in the near future.

How bad is the Boston Celtics' talent drain?
The Boston Celtics have endured a significant talent drain since the end of the 2024-25 season. Team president Brad Stevens has traded away veterans Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, while backup big man Luke Kornet has left in free agency, and veteran forward Al Horford's future remains unclear. Stevens has added Anfernee Simons, Josh Minott and Luka Garza to help balance the roster. However, it's clear that as things stand, the talent level within Boston's rotation has taken a dip. The Celtics are suddenly incredibly thin at the power forward and center positions. There's limited depth and a lack of proven NBA talent. Minott and Garza are both big swings from the front office, with the hope that they can develop and impress with larger roles than they've been afforded since entering the NBA. In a recent episode of the "Taylor Talks Celtics" podcast, hosts Adam Taylor and Billy Calabrese discuss the talent drain the Celtics are facing and what that could mean for the upcoming season. They discuss the upside of being a rebuilding or re-tooling team, along with how Boston's season could look from a wins and losses standpoint.
