Elly De La Cruz hit a three-run homer, stole three bases and scored on a throwing error to lead the Cincinnati Reds past the visiting Los Angeles Angels 7–1 Friday night.

Cincinnati starter and winner Nick Lodolo (2–0) allowed one run over 6 1/3 innings and Tyler Stephenson blasted a tape-measure, tiebreaking home run for the Reds, who snapped a three-game losing streak.
