The Cincinnati Reds were swept for the first time in 2025, falling 5-1 to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night. Nick Lodolo made his return from the injured list, working 4 2/3 innings before being pulled. The Reds offense had no answers for Dodgers pitching, striking out a staggering 19 times in the loss. Cincinnati will look to regroup as they return home Friday to open a long homestand, beginning with a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
