Martini homers twice, Montas pitches 6 shutout innings and Reds beat Nationals 8-2 in opener
In a spectacular opening day showdown, the Cincinnati Reds dominated the Washington Nationals with an 8-2 victory, fueled by the impressive performance of Nick Martini and Frankie Montas.
Martini, at 33 years old, delivered a memorable performance, smashing two home runs to the delight of the roaring crowd. Batting eighth as the designated hitter, Martini seized his first opening-day start in the big leagues with gusto. His first homer came in the second inning, a powerful shot that sailed 405 feet into the right-field stands. Not content with just one, Martini struck again in the third inning with a three-run blast, showcasing his prowess at the plate. His electrifying display marked him as the first Reds player since Adam Dunn in 2007 to hit two homers on opening day, leaving the fans in awe.
Reflecting on his stellar performance, Martini expressed his joy at delivering for his team and the city of Cincinnati. His contributions were pivotal in setting the tone for the Reds' triumphant start to the season.
Meanwhile, Montas, in his Cincinnati debut, demonstrated his pitching prowess by tossing six shutout innings. The 31-year-old right-hander, who joined the Reds on a lucrative free-agent deal, showcased his resilience and skill on the mound. Despite enduring labrum surgery last February, Montas displayed unwavering control, limiting the Nationals to just four hits while striking out four batters. His stellar outing was a testament to his determination and his ability to perform under pressure.
Manager David Bell praised Martini's exceptional hitting display and acknowledged his long-standing talent. Martini's performance on opening day highlighted his capabilities as a valuable asset to the Reds' lineup.
Contributing to the Reds' offensive onslaught, Spencer Steer delivered with two hits and two RBIs, further solidifying Cincinnati's dominance on the field.
On the opposing side, Josiah Gray struggled on the mound, yielding seven runs to the relentless Reds offense. Despite mustering six strikeouts, Gray failed to contain the Reds' potent lineup, resulting in a challenging outing for the Nationals.
Eddie Rosario provided a glimmer of hope for the Nationals, launching a two-run homer in the seventh inning. However, it wasn't enough to stage a comeback against the formidable Reds.
As the dust settled on opening day, Nationals manager Dave Martinez acknowledged the team's need to bounce back stronger. Opening day jitters may have played a role, but Martinez emphasized the importance of regrouping and refocusing for the battles ahead in the season.
In a thrilling opener filled with standout performances, the Cincinnati Reds emerged victorious, laying down a marker for their aspirations in the season ahead.
