The Cincinnati Reds (76-82) fell to the Cleveland Guardians (91-67) 6-1 on Tuesday night.

Here are our postgame takeaways:

Quiet Night for the Reds' Offense

The Reds just had four hits all game long and no Reds batter had more than one hit.

The lone run came in the fourth inning when Spencer Steer singled home Tyler Stephenson.

The Reds were 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position.

The Guardians starter, Tanner Bibee, tossed seven innings of one-run baseball. He struck out seven.

Guardians' Early Runs Were Enough

Cleveland scored three runs off of Carson Spiers in the first inning and that is all they would need.

They would add a run in the fifth inning off of Ian Gibaut, who was making his season debut and they added two more in the seventh off of Emilio Pagan.

Up Next

The Reds and Guardians will play the series finale on Wednesday at 6:40 ET.
