The Cincinnati Reds are riding high as they prepare to open a three-game series against the Pirates in Pittsburgh on Monday night.

The Cincinnati Reds completed a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Guardians Sunday, winning 3-1 and earning their fourth straight win overall.

Will Benson's second home run of the game is a solo shot to give the Reds the 3-0 lead vs. the Guardians.

When Jack McKeon managed the Cincinnati Reds, his pet saying to his younger players was, ”When Mr. Opportunity knocks, you open the door and say, come on in.” Will Benson is making the most of his new opportunity. Terry Francona and the Reds are the beneficiaries.
