The Cincinnati Reds' recent five-game winning streak in the 2025 MLB season, culminating on May 19, 2025, marks a significant turnaround for the team, pushing them above .500 with a 25-24 record. This streak, tied for their longest this season, showcases a blend of stellar pitching, solid defense, and timely offense under the guidance of new manager Terry Francona, hired on October 4, 2024, for his proven track record, including two World Series titles with the Boston Red Sox. The streak began with a surge after dropping two games to the Chicago White Sox. Key to this run was the Reds' pitching staff, with starters like Andrew Abbott delivering, as seen in his five-inning performance against the Cleveland Guardians, navigating a bases-loaded jam. The bullpen was equally impressive, allowing just three earned runs over 20 innings. Defensively, the Reds were nearly flawless, committing only one error across 45 innings. Offensively, the team erupted for nine or more hits in each game, with a season-high seven doubles in their May 19 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Standout performances included Will Benson's three-run homer against the Guardians and contributions from stars like Elly De La Cruz, whose electrifying play continues to fuel the lineup. This streak, a stark contrast to last season when the Reds never reached .500 this late, has reignited fan optimism. Francona's leadership, paired with a rotation led by Hunter Greene (4-2, 2.36 ERA), positions the Reds as contenders in the NL Central. As they face upcoming series against the Cubs and Pirates, maintaining this momentum could solidify their postseason aspirations, making this streak a defining moment in their 2025 campaign In Seattle, the Mariners have prioritized season ticket holders for the 2025 MLB season, offering exclusive benefits like priority postseason ticket access, discounts on merchandise (15% off, 20% on Tuesdays), dining at The Boxyard (15% off), and parking. Through the MLB Ballpark app, members manage tickets, forward them, or sell extras on StubHub, the official fan-to-fan marketplace. However, the Mariners strictly regulate reselling, classifying those who buy primarily to resell as "Ticket Brokers," potentially losing benefits or facing account cancellation. Posts on X highlight similar policies in Indianapolis, where the Colts sent letters to season ticket holders, warning that purchasing tickets solely for resale violates ticketing policies. For the Indianapolis Indians (MiLB), 2025 season ticket holders enjoy up to 40% off gate prices, priority seating, exclusive event invitations, on-field batting practice, and a personal service representative. Flexible plans range from full-season to mini or flex packages, catering to varied schedules. Both teams emphasize enhancing fan experiences while enforcing strict anti-resale measures to protect loyal fans, reflecting a broader trend in sports ticketing to reward committed supporters and curb profiteering.

Cincinnati Reds Sweep Guardians with Will Benson's Heroics The Cincinnati Reds completed a stunning three-game sweep of the Cleveland Guardians on May 18, 2025, at Great American Ball Park, their first such sweep of their in-state rivals since 2012. The series, part of the 2025 Ohio Cup, showcased the Reds' resurgence, with outfielder Will Benson emerging as the standout performer. Benson, a former Guardian, tormented his old team, hitting four home runs across the series, including a career-first two-homer game in the 3-1 finale. On Friday, his second-inning homer and two RBIs sparked a 5-4 win. Saturday's solo shot in a 4-1 victory marked his third straight game with a homer, and Sunday's two blasts drove in all three Reds runs. Since his May 9 call-up from Triple-A, Benson has been scorching, batting .423 (11-for-26) with five homers in eight games, a stark contrast to his .650 OPS in 2024. His plate discipline, honed with hitting coach Chris Valaika, has been key: “I'm swinging at pitches I want and taking those I don't,” Benson said. The Reds' pitching complemented Benson's offensive explosion. Starter Andrew Abbott delivered five gritty, scoreless innings on Sunday, navigating a bases-loaded jam. The bullpen, including closer Emilio Pagán's third save in three days, limited Cleveland to six runs across the series. Cleveland struggled, going 2-for-16 with runners in scoring position in the finale. This sweep, following a 7-1 rout of the Chicago White Sox, propelled the Reds to .500 (24-24) and ignited momentum heading into a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Benson's power surge, paired with Cincinnati's crisp play, signals a team finding its rhythm under manager Terry Francona
Cincinnati Reds vs. Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Reds at Pirates 6:40PM ET—Nick Lodolo will start for Cincinnati. Lodolo in nine starts on the season deals with an ERA of 3.42 with WHIP of 1.08. The left hander fans 19% with 4.1% walks. Ground balls served at 42.5% with 1.03 home runs per nine innings. Mitch Keller is starting for Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Philadelphia Phillies MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Pirates at Phillies 1:35PM ET—Paul Skenes will start for Pittsburgh. Skenes made nine starts in 2025, carrying an ERA of 2.63 with WHIP of 1.01. The right hander strikes out 24.7% with 7% walks. Ground ball rate of 49.3% with 0.66 home runs per nine innings. Mick Abel is starting for Philadelphia. Abel makes his MLB debut. The righty is a first round pick in 2020 out of high school who put up great numbers in Triple A in eight starts this season.
Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher talk about Aaron Nola's Worst Start Ever, as well the lowly Pirates coming to town. Then author Bob Fulton talks about some Phillies-Pirates history from his book, "Burial at Home Plate: The Oddball History of the Pittsburgh Pirates."
The Philadelphia Phillies dropped 2 of 3 to the St. Louis Cardinals during the week in part due to Aaron Nola's continued struggles on the season. He's now lost a MLB lead- tying 7 games this season and has an ERA worse than 6. What is wrong with Nola? Next, Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates come to town just a week after firing Manager Derek Shelton. The Phillies have to win this series.
Today, Meg Kane from Philadelphia Soccer 2026, the non-profit entity in charge of executing FIFA World Cup 26 matches for the City of Philadelphia, joins the show to discuss. We also have Brian Baldinger to discuss the NFL's hottest topics and Jim Salisbury joins to preview the Phillies' homestand versus the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Pirates have scored four or fewer runs 20 games in a row. They're reaching lows dating back to 1908! The Pirates averaged 4.1 runs per game last year, this year they're averaging 3.1. Injuries have hurt the Pirates with Nick Gonzales and Spencer Horwitz missing the early part of the year.
The Pirates have not drafted well and signing international free agents. 45 at bats this season have come from players Ben Cherington has drafted. Chris Truby has been named to the Major League staff. Gene Lamont is back as an advisor to Don Kelly. Mike Rabelo will have increased roles in game planning.
Pirates broadcaster Bob Walk joined the show. Bob likes the Pirates bringing Gene Lamont back into the organization. Spencer Horwitz is going to be a contact hitter and get on base without providing a lot of power. This can still help the Pirates offense.
Jason would not trade Paul Skenes right now and doesn't think they should. Can things get worse? Skenes is a part of the players association leadership. Jason thinks trading Skenes would send the wrong message.
Noah Hiles is reporting that Spencer Horwitz will be with the Pirates in Philly today. Adam Crowley heard, and multiple others have confirmed, the Steelers are interested in Saints wide receiver Chris Olave. Alan Saunders reported that a trade is unlikely. Former Pirates manager Gene Lamont is back as an MLB advisor.
Noah Hiles from The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette comes on The Fan Hotline to address some trade rumors surrounding the Pirates.
