CINCINNATI—Elly De La Cruz hit a 458-foot drive for his first major league homer and Will Benson hit a game-ending home run in the ninth that lifted the Cincinnati Reds over Los Angeles 8–6 on Wednesday night, June 7, and extended the Dodgers’ losing streak to a season-high four.
De La Cruz hit an 0–1 fastball from an again ineffective Noah Syndergaard in the first inning that left the bat at 114.8 mph and landed in the last rows of the right-field stands at Great American Ball Park. The two-run homer tied the score 2–2.
