The Cincinnati Reds explode for four home runs to sweep the Athletics—are the Queen City Bombers turning the season around? Tim Daniel breaks down the Reds’ electrifying 6-5 victory, spotlighting key moments from Elly De La Cruz’s leadoff homer to Sal Stewart’s game-tying blast and Tyler Stephenson’s clutch power surge.
