CINCINNATI — Reds<\/a> pitcher Nick Lodolo<\/a> struck out 12 batters and then exited with a groin injury on Thursday in a dominant performance that helped his team move within a half-game of the New York Mets<\/a> for the final NL wild card.<\/p>\n

Lodolo left the 2-1 win<\/a> over the Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a> with one out in the seventh inning. The Reds said he was taken out for precautionary reasons.<\/p>\n

The left-hander allowed two hits, one walk and allowed no runs. His dozen strikeouts tied a career high, having also struck out 12 against the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> on April 8, 2023.<\/p>\n

It was his seventh double-digit strikeout game.<\/p>\n

The victory for Lodolo (9-8) and the Reds was preserved when right fielder Noelvi Marte<\/a> recorded the final two outs, including robbing Bryan Reynolds<\/a> of a home run with a spectacular catch over the wall.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati has the tiebreaker over the Mets (81-77), who play the Cubs<\/a> later Thursday, and Arizona<\/a> (80-78), which played the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CINCINNATI — Reds pitcher Nick Lodolo struck out 12 batters and then exited with a groin injury on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":168978,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-168977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
