On any other night, the story of Brett Kennedy going toe-to-toe with Jose Berrios to keep the Reds in a tight game would be the headliner. And deservedly so. Making his 2nd start of the season, after not appearing in the big leagues since 2018, it was a huge spot for Kennedy to pitch for a team in the middle of a playoff hunt. Kennedy more than delivered, shutting down a solid Toronto Blue Jays lineup for 5 innings while his own team’s offense didn’t even get a hit until the 6th inning, and ultimately helping the Cincinnati Reds pull out the 1-0 victory.
