Sonny Gray had a rough Red Sox debut, allowing four runs, three earned, in four innings. He walked one and fanned five on 80 pitches.

Brady Singer allowed three runs on five hits in four innings in his season debut for the Reds. Singer left his final spring training start with a blister on his right index finger, but reported no issues Saturday.

McLain's RBI double made the score 3-0 in the second. McLain went 3 for 4.

Stewart, who had three hits on opening day, homered on Gray's first pitch of the third.

De La Cruz homered on the first pitch from Greg Weissert in the fifth.

There were eight ABS challenges in the game and six calls were overturned. The Reds went 5 for 5. CB Bucknor was the home plate umpire.

The Red Sox used both of their ABS challenges by the end of the third. With no challenges available in the fourth, Story was called out on strikes on a pitch outside the zone to strand a runner at second.

After Story was called out on a check swing to strand two runners in the eighth, Red Sox manager Alex Cora was ejected by Bucknor for arguing the call.

Up next Reds right-hander Rhett Lowder will oppose Red Sox lefty Connelly Early in Sunday's series finale.
