Reds rookie first baseman Sal Stewart won the National League Player of the Week award for his series against the Boston Red Sox, where he went 7 for 10 with four extra-base hits and no strikeouts. The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans and Reds Hall of Famer Danny Graves don't think he'll hit .700 this year, but they could see him winning a batting title or Rookie of the Year this year and maybe even more down the line.

We also look at the opening series for ABS.

In Closing Time, Danny discusses the ups and downs of life as a closer.

The Cincinnati Reds opened the 2026 season with a 3-0 loss to Garrett Crochet and the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Reds starter Andrew Abbott matched Crochet's six scoreless innings, even if he did it in a different way. Sal Stewart had three hits, but the downside was the team as a hole had just four hits (Elly De La Cruz had the other). C. Trent Rosecrans of the Athletic and Reds Hall of Famer Danny Graves discuss the game, the pitchers and how ABS changed the game.
