Friedl’s knock finished the scoring for the night. Thanks in large part to their eight walks, the Reds won despite being outhomered 2-0 and outhit 8-5. Friedl’s double was his lone hit in five at-bats. At .288/.381/.439 with eight homers to date, he’s starting to receive some All-Star chatter. However, the NL outfield is extremely stacked (Corbin Carroll, Kyle Tucker, Juan Soto, Fernando Tatis Jr., Pete Crow-Armstrong, James Wood, Ronald Acuña Jr. and we could keep going) and it’ll probably take a couple of people dropping out to get Friedl in the mix.

All of the earned runs came in the sixth after Christian Encarnacion-Strand made a throwing error with two outs and none on. The next two batters singled, and Harrison Bader hit a home run to end Abbott’s night. Abbott gave up two homers and eight hits in all, so while it would have been a nice pitching line if not for the error, it definitely wasn’t one of his better performances. Abbott will make his next start on the road in St. Louis.

It was curious how Pagán and Tony Santillan were flipped in the bullpen Sunday, but things were back to normal tonight, with Santillan throwing a perfect eighth and Pagán working around a pair of walks in a scoreless ninth. Pagán still hasn’t blown a save since May 6.
