Rookie Elly De La Cruz had his first two-homer game and drove in four runs, Luke Maile had three RBIs and the Cincinnati Reds improved their slim playoff hopes with an 11-7 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night. Cleveland played its second-to-last home game under manager Terry Francona, who called his impending retirement, "The worst-kept secret ever." De La Cruz hit a solo shot in the fourth off Lucas Giolito and hammered a 467-foot rocket to right in the eighth against Xzavion Curry.
