Cincinnati Reds' shutdown pitching, shutdown hitting on full display in loss to Pirates
PITTSBURGH — If the Cincinnati Reds run down the Chicago Cubs to win the National League Central this season ‒ or the St. Louis Cardinals for that matter ‒ it will be because of this: The starting rotation, which got another six strong innings out of Nick Martinez on Tuesday night against the Pirates, is one of the top two or three in the National League, depending on your preferred statistic. Advertisement On the other hand, If the Reds run down and fade in the coming months it will almost certainly be caused by the rest of what was on display during nine innings of low-voltage baseball at PNC Park May 20. Their 1-0 loss in the middle game of this week's three-game series in Pittsburgh was already their fourth by that score this season ‒ their eighth shutout loss in 50 games. That's a pace that would break the 1908 franchise record of 24 shutout losses. Starter Nick Martinez pitched six strong innings, allowing only one run on four hits and two walks, but the Reds were shut out for the eighth time this season in their 1-0 loss May 20. Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago Cubs NL Central series upcoming What's all of this have to do with the Cubs? The division leaders come to town this weekend for their first meeting of the season with the Reds, and the teams match up again a week later in Chicago. Advertisement The Cubs are the Reds' funhouse-mirror image, the top-scoring team in the league with a porous pitching staff dogged by significant injuries in the early going. And how one incapable force fares against the other inconceivable object could play an outsized influence on the NL Central race this season, especially if the Reds are in it. Consider the Reds starting pitching. Even as the Reds' five-game winning streak was snapped with Tuesday's loss, the rotation had a 1.41 ERA across 32 innings in that stretch: Nick Martinez vs. White Sox, 5/15: W, 7.0 IP, 0 R, 3/0 K/BB Brady Singer vs. Guardians, 5/16: W, 5.0 IP, 3 ER, 4/3 K/BB Brent Suter* vs. Guardians, 5/17: ND, 3.0 IP, 0 R, 1/0 K/BB Andrew Abbott vs. Guardians, 5/18: W, 5.0 IP, 0 R, 5/3 K/BB Nick Lodolo at Pirates, 5/19: W, 6.0 IP, 1 ER, 7/1 K/BB Nick Martinez at Pirates, 5/20: 6.0 IP, 1 ER, 3/2 K/BB Totals: 32.0 IP, 5 ER, 23 K, 9 BB The group's season ERA is 3.61. And they expect to only get better Friday when triple-digit, All-Star ace Hunter Greene returns from a two-week stay on the injured list for a mild groin strain to open the Cubs series. Advertisement "Even the whole staff is throwing the ball really well," said Martinez, who lowered his ERA to 1.77 over his past six starts (3.43 overall). "Our two rookies are throwing high leverage innings and getting the job done. We've just got to keep going." That would be Luis Mey and Lyon Richardson, who each pitched around traffic for scoreless innings in relief of Martinez in Pittsburgh May 20. But a lineup that, to be generous, has been wildly inconsistent, doesn't inspire bet-the-house confidence it can hang in the formidable National League this year after it needed five runs in the final two innings Monday against a soft Pittsburgh pen to finish the first two games against the last place Pirates this week with seven runs. In fact, the four games before this series – all wins – were powered almost exclusively by five home runs by Will Benson, the outfielder, who already has two stretches in the minors. Benson drove in 10 of the Reds' 19 runs in those four games, earning NL Player of the Week honors. Advertisement On the night the Pirates became the third team to beat the Reds 1-0 this season, lefty hitting leadoff man TJ Friedl opened the game with a triple off the right-field wall against left-hander Bailey Falter. He was stranded. The Reds had four base runners the rest of the game, including Santiago Espinal on a leadoff double in the fourth. He did not so much as advance to third. "You get a leadoff triple, and you strand him, and we had a double and didn't score," Reds manager Terry Francona said. "But you do give that kid some credit. We know going in he's got really good extension, so whatever the gun says, add to it, because it's going to get up on you. You could tell by some of the at-bats we took. He broke some bats, he got past our barrel, got some strikeouts when he needed it. It's real." Falter is among eight starting pitchers from six teams to spin all or parts of shutouts against the Reds, including Hunter Brown and Ronel Blanco in Houston, and AJ Smith-Shawver in Atlanta in barely two weeks. Advertisement The only run Martinez allowed Tuesday was the result of a one-out walk, stolen base and Bryan Reynolds run-scoring single. The Reds called a pitchout on the Oneil Cruz steal but catcher Jose Trevino lost the ball on the exchange. "We're playing good baseball, really," Martinez said. "We just didn't come out on top today. We've got to keep pushing." This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Reds lose to Pirates, on pace for record-settings scoreless losses

Liverpool 2–2 Arsenal: Slot's Side Waste First-Half Dominance in Stalemate with Gunners
Liverpool 2 – 2 Arsenal – Premier League Player Ratings Following last week's loss at Stamford Bridge, Arne Slot recalled his first team assets, wanting to punish further visiting Mikel Arteta and his self-proclaimed best team in Europe. Advertisement The lineup and subsequent ratings are listed below. Alisson Becker – 7.0 The giant Brazilian stopper was steady and reliable in the first half as he watched his men take Arsenal apart. The second half was a very different affair, however, he maintained his execution of great form and was more let down by the goals conceded. Conor Bradley – 7.0 The Ireland international was energetic and dependable against the visitors, as he played more in the opposing half than his own. After the intermission, the former academy graduate was at fault for allowing too much room for the Merino goal, as he gifted Trossard the room to cross. Advertisement Subbed – 67 mins Andy Robertson – 7.0 The Scotland international was good and reliable after the Saka-induced horror show from earlier in the season. After the halftime break, the popular fullback was involved in the attacking side of play and had a winning goal disallowed in stoppage time. Ibrahima Konaté – 7.0 The France international defender was strong and resilient in the first half, where not need much needed his brute force. In the second half, the former RB Leipzig man was a little less dominant and maybe should have reacted better to the first goal conceded. Virgil van Dijk – 7.0 The captain and leader of this team was strong and confident as his teammates ripped through the Gunners in a thrilling first half. Advertisement After the restart, the former Celtic man was very good and powered a header towards goal in stoppage time that nearly allowed a late winner. Dominik Szoboszlai – 8.0 The Hungarian captain was explosive and powerful in the first half, with a superb assist coming to double his team's lead. After the break, the former Bundesliga man was again energetic and pushed to get the win for his title-winning teammates. Man of the match Ryan Gravenberch – 7.0 The versatile midfielder was solid and well-positioned against a fairly rigid group, as he recycled the ball and was always a covering man. After the intermission, the former Ajax prodigy was able to carry the ball a little more and nearly scored after a dazzling run. Curtis Jones – 6.0 The under-21 European Cup winner was the controlling entity and showed good touches and composure in a good first-half showing. Advertisement In the second 45 minutes, the former academy skipper was less effective before leaving the field. Subbed – 66 mins Cody Gakpo – 7.0 The Dutch attacker was able to open the scoring with a fine header early on, as he looked to contribute to a first half of Anfield domination. In the second half, the former PSV man was more limited as his team started to lose the initiative. Subbed – 66 mins Luis Diaz – 7.0 The Colombian forward was a constant threat in the first half and scored a well-taken goal to double his team's lead. In the second half, the former Porto man was perhaps less impactful as he moved positionally to find space. Advertisement Subbed – 79 mins Mohamed Salah – 7.0 The Egyptian King was electric in the first half and showed his dazzling array of touches to get his side into a 2-0 lead. After the break, the record-breaking scorer was less brilliant as he was crowded out by multiple markers. Substitutions; Darwin Núñez – 5.0 (on 66) Came on to add another dimension. Trent Alexander-Arnold – 5.0 (on 66) Came on to a tricky Anfield reception. Alexis Mac Allister – 6.0 (on 66) Came on to add control. Alexis Mac Allister – 5.0 (on 69) Came on to add control and tenacity. Diogo Jota – 4.0 (on 79) Came on. Harvey Elliott – 4.0 (on 83) Came on. The Manager: Arne Slot – 7.0 Advertisement The Dutch manager picked a team that was built to hurt a team in despair. The substitutions were less impactful as the game state altered after the break. Steven Smith's Pre-match Prediction; Liverpool 2 – 1 Arsenal
