Every Reds fan should be furious that a hitter as weak as Hampson is on the roster at all, much less batting against a right-hander while the team is down one run in the ninth. Terry Francona, though, wasn’t willing to pinch-hit Matt McLain, and Hampson struck out to end the game. He’s hitting .167/.231/.167 in 13 plate appearances since being added 10 days ago. Dating back to last year, he’s gone 63 plate appearances without an RBI.

Stephenson’s slam off Jack Flaherty in the fifth was the second of his career. He struggled in his first 15 games after coming off the injured list at the beginning of May, but he’s hit .329 with five homers, five doubles and 17 RBI in his last 18 games. The Reds seem a little more hesitant to use Stephenson at DH now that they’ve shed their third catcher by moving on from Austin Wynns, so he was out of the starting lineup entirely on Sunday and Wednesday. He did DH with Jose Trevino catching today, though.

Singer got through six for just the second time in his last seven starts. Still, the quicker hooks have been working for him. It just wasn’t necessary today with the Reds giving him seven runs to work with. Singer is 7-4 with a 4.34 ERA and a 60/32 K/BB in 74 2/3 innings. He’s set to face the Cardinals next time out.

If it wasn’t a rout already, McLain made it one by increasing the Reds’ lead from six runs to nine against John Brebbia in the eighth. He’s batting .229/.325/.439 with two homers and seven RBI in 11 games this month. It’s not great, but it’s a big improvement over his April and May.

Moore will hit ninth and play second base in his MLB debut against the Orioles on Friday. The Angels waited a little longer for this first-round pick to make his debut, but it’s yet another fast promotion from the Halos. Moore is one of the better second base prospects in baseball, and the ability to help —but not dominate — in all five categories makes him worthy of roster consideration in redraft formats.

Moore, the eighth overall selection from the 2024 draft class, has hit .279/.374/.422 with five homers, 32 RBI, eight stolen bases (in 12 attempts) and a 65/31 K/BB ratio over 238 plate appearances between Double-A Rocket City and Triple-A Salt Lake this season. He has been playing second base exclusively in the minor leagues, so perhaps it’s time the Halos pull the plug on the Scott Kingery experiment there.

Taylor was hit on the hand by a pitch last night, though he stayed in afterwards and there was no indication after the game that it led to an injury. A fractured hand is typically at least a four- to six-week injury, though it could be less for Taylor if it’s a hairline fracture. This isn’t the way the Angels were intending to make room for the newly acquired LaMonte Wade Jr. on the roster, but it works out that way all the same. Matthew Lugo was probably in line for a demotion, but he gets to stick around now.
