The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired former All-Star reliever Alexis Díaz from the Cincinnati Reds in a trade for minor-league pitcher Mike Villani.

New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz and younger brother Alexis, the Cincinnati Reds’ ace reliever, have pitched in the same game for the first time in their All-Star careers.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Joey Votto homered on consecutive pitches by Eury Pérez in the fourth inning, and the Cincinnati Reds stopped a six-game slide by holding off the Miami Marlins for a 5-2 victory on Monday night.

Jeurys Familia gave up a one-run lead in the ninth for Oakland and Cincinnati's Jake Fraley hit a broken-bat double to give the Reds a 3-2 win over the Athletics.

The Atlanta Braves have apparently decided who will replace the departed Dansby Swanson as their starting shortstop.

The Reds had only three hits against four Marlins pitchers, but Aristides Aquino’s two-run single in the first was sufficient.
