CINCINNATI: Scott Feldman struck out a season-high nine while ending the Cincinnati Reds’ long stretch of ineffective starts, and Scott Schebler homered for the third consecutive game Monday night in leading the Reds to a 5-1 victory over the Indians.
The Reds took the opener of the annual intrastate series. The teams play two games in Cincinnati followed by two in Cleveland. The Indians had won their last four at Great American Ball Park and six in a row overall in the Ohio series.
Feldman (3-4) got the first victory by a Reds starter since May 9.
