In the home opening series of the season, Cincinnati dropped both games to Cleveland.
On Tuesday, the Guardians topped the Reds 10-5. Cincinnati came back from a 4-0 deficit to tie the game in the sixth, but the bullpen gave up six runs in the ninth.
In that four-run fourth, Jonathan India hit a two-run homer and Tyler Naquin smacked a two-run tater.
The most impressive performance for the Redlegs was by catcher Tyler Stephenson who threw out three Cleveland baserunners.
The Reds lost 7-3 to the Guardians Wednesday. Nick Lodolo made his major league debut and struck out two in the first inning but was touched up after that giving up five earned runs on seven hits with a couple of dingers.
Stephenson and Naquin both drove in two runs on two hits. Stephenson went deep in the eighth.
