The Cincinnati Reds traded left-handed reliever Alex Young to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for outfielder Austin Slater

The Cincinnati Reds traded left-handed reliever Alex Young to the San Francisco Giants for outfielder Austin Slater and cash.

After the trade was finalized late Sunday night, the Giants announced that Young would be sent down to Triple-A Sacramento.

Slater, 31, is leaving San Francisco for the first time in his eight-year MLB career. He has a batting average of .200 with one home run and nine RBIs in 43 games this season.

Despite recent injuries including elbow surgery last October and hamstring strains, Slater has been a dependable pinch-hitter.

According to Reds general manager Brad Meador, the trade was beneficial for both teams.

Young, 30, pitched just two innings in three appearances for the Reds this season. He previously played for the Giants in 2022 after being acquired from the Guardians and also spent time with the Arizona Diamondbacks from 2019 to 2021 over parts of six seasons in the majors.

Will Benson’s three-run home run and a 458-foot homer by rookie Rece Hinds powered the Cincinnati Reds to a commanding 12-6 victory over the Colorado Rockies

Will Benson hit a three-run home run during a big second inning where the Reds scored five runs. Rookie Rece Hinds also smashed a 458-foot home run. These big hits helped the Cincinnati Reds easily defeat the Colorado Rockies 12-6 on Tuesday night.

Hinds, who is 23 years old, hit a long home run for the second consecutive game. He had a 421-foot home run in his first major league game on Monday. In Tuesday’s game, he hit another impressive home run off Colorado reliever Justin Lawrence as part of a four-run seventh inning for the Reds.

Although Hinds missed hitting a single to complete the cycle on Tuesday, he achieved a historic feat by becoming the first player ever to get five extra-base hits in his first two major league games.

“I didn’t know that,” Hinds said about his record. “But I knew I was doing some pretty cool stuff. I try not to pay too much attention to the statistics.”

Tyler Stephenson and Spencer Steer also hit home runs for the Reds, who won their second consecutive game against the Rockies.
