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. The Reds lost series to the Giants, Diamondbacks and Dodgers on their swing out West. Back home, they did just enough offensively to win one behind another terrific outing by Abbott, who improved to 3-4. The 24-year-old lefty allowed four hits, striking out two and walking one. He allowed just one runner past first base. Alexis Díaz pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his eighth save.
