CINCINNATI—Andrew Abbott threw seven shutout innings, Elly De La Cruz doubled home a run, and the Cincinnati Reds shook off a disastrous road trip to beat the San Diego Padres 2–0 on Tuesday night.
The Reds went 3–7 on their swing out West, losing series in San Francisco, Arizona, and Los Angeles. Back home, they did just enough offensively to win one behind another terrific outing from Abbott (3–4).
