Abbott (7-1, 2.15 ERA) has pitched well enough in 15 starts to help put the Reds at the fringes of the wild-card playoff mix – and maybe well enough yet earn a first All-Star bid the way teammate Hunter Greene did a year ago.
Abbott and De La Cruz both entered in the sixth inning. The left-hander pitched a perfect 1-2-3 inning. He got Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Riley Greene to fly out to center field and got Randy Arozarena to ground out softly to first base. De La Cruz went 0-2 with a strikeout and a flyout to left field.
