(AP) — Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson was placed on the injured list Wednesday because of a small fracture on the tip of his left thumb, an injury he initially sustained while catching a pitch from hard-throwing right-hander Hunter Greene last ...

The Reds still trail the New York Mets for the third and final wild-card spot in the National League and have their work cut out for them.

Noelvi Marte has been the hottest hitter for this Reds team that has won three straight games. The outfielder had two more hits on Tuesday night in their win over the Angels, including a solo home run, his 10th of the season.

TJ Friedl delivered a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the ninth inning and Gavin Lux tacked on a run with a single as the Cincinnati Reds recovered to extend their winning streak over the Angels to 10 with a 6-4 victory Tuesday.

The Cincinnati Reds will hand the ball to Hunter Greene (5-3, 2.47 ERA), who is looking for win No. 6 on the season, and the Angels will turn to Kyle Hendricks (6-8, 4.88 ERA). The Reds won their most recent game against the Brewers on Sunday by a 3-2 score.
