Both teams have put on a power display during the first two games of the weekend series between the Cincinnati Reds and the host Detroit Tigers. Detroit blasted four home runs in an 11-5 romp during the series opener on Friday.

The Reds did tack on three too-little, too-late runs in the ninth when De La Cruz doubled home Santiago Espinal to make it 11-3, then Tyler Stephenson doubled in two more runs to make it 11-5. De La Cruz was 3-for-4, raising his average to .267.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Austin Hays spoke with reporters ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers and shares an update on his injured foot. Hays said his foot hasn't improved over the last two days and that they're going to shut him down before easing back into activity,

Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene was still in Los Angeles Friday night, pending one more meeting with specialists before returning to Cincinnati.
