Instant reaction: Red Sox 3, Reds 0 in Opening Day loss

The Cincinnati Reds opened the 2026 season with a 3-0 loss to Garrett Crochet and the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Reds starter Andrew Abbott matched Crochet's six scoreless innings, even if he did it in a different way. Sal Stewart had three hits, but the downside was the team as a hole had just four hits (Elly De La Cruz had the other). C. Trent Rosecrans of the Athletic and Reds Hall of Famer Danny Graves discuss the game, the pitchers and how ABS changed the game.
