Cincinnati Reds prospect Tyler Mahle had to be perfect on Saturday if he hoped to lead to his Pensacola Blue Wahoos to victory. That’s exactly what he was, requiring just 88 pitches to throw the first perfect game in Wahoos history and the first nine-inning perfecto in the Double A Southern League since 1970. Mahle, who’s ranked as the Reds No. 10 overall prospect by MLB Pipeline, carved his way through the Mobile BayBears lineup. Continue to Article

CINCINNATI (AP) -- With another dramatic homer, the Cubs showed they are still masters of the big comeback. Anthony Rizzo tied it with a two-out, three-run homer in the ninth, and Kris Bryant hit a sacrifice fly in the 11th inning on Friday night, rallying the Chicago Cubs to a 6-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, a team they've dominated the last few years. The Cubs won for the 19th time in their last 23 games against the Reds and for the 16th time in their last 20 games at Great American Ball Park. This one felt very familiar. The Cubs swept to their World Series championship with one late comeback after another, including the 10-inning Game 7 victory in Cleveland. This week, they've pulled Continue to Article

Jake Arrieta (3-0) returned to the mound where he threw his second career no-hitter last April 21 and struggled mightily at the outset, giving up two homers in the first inning. Continue to Article

CINCINNATI — With his high leg kick and below-the-radar breaking balls, Bronson Arroyo showed the Cubs a little old-style pitching. Who needs to throw 90 mph to beat the World Series champions? The 40-year-old righty gave his best performance yet in his long comeback from elbow problems, pitching three-hit ball over six innings on Sunday, and the Cincinnati Reds salvaged a 7-5 victory . Arroyo worked fast, varied the angles of his deliveries, and kept `em guessing with his minimalist pitches. "I'm happy for him, to see him back up," Chicago catcher Miguel Montero said. "He's a tough pitcher to face. Obviously he's throwing below hitting speed right now." Arroyo (2-2) needed more than two years Continue to Article
