Alex Wood once again provided a quality start, and the Los Angeles Dodgers remained undefeated in four games against the Cincinnati Reds this season behind a 3-1 victory at Great American Ball Park. Joc Pederson, Chris Taylor and Alex Wood each finished with one RBI.
Facing the Reds a second time in the past six days, Wood improved on his previous start by allowing one run — on a solo homer — over eight strong innings. Wood allowed just four hits, and finished with five strikeouts to zero walks on an efficient 89 pitches.
He even helped his own cause with a two-out RBI single in the eighth that extended the Dodgers’ lead to 3-0.
