CINCINNATI - Eugenio Suarez hit a three-run home run and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Boston Red Sox 3-2 on Sunday to win their season-opening series. Suarez’s homer, his first since rejoining the Reds this offseason, came on an 0-2 pitch from Greg Weissert with two runners aboard in the sixth to put Cincinnati ahead 3-2. It was his 190th homer in a Reds uniform, one shy of Brandon Phillips for 12th on the franchise’s all-time list. Wilyer Abreu went 6 for 13 for Boston in the three-game series with two home runs, two doubles, and four RBIs. Connelly Early, 23, was the youngest pitcher to start one of the Red Sox’ first three games in a season since Jeff Sellers in 1987 and the youngest left-hander to do so since Billy Rohr in 1967. Early pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing one earned run on five hits with two walks and five strikeouts over 96 pitches. Reds rookie Rhett Lowder made his first appearance since Sept. 28, 2024, after missing the entire 2025 season with both a right forearm strain and left oblique strain.
