Will never understand why leagues like MLS and the WNBA, which are in periods of great growth potential, are the ones that look to restrict media access and coverage.

[Jeff Wallner @JeffWallner]

@JeremyKelleyDDN Totally fair.

For the Royals, meanwhile, that's about as tough a loss as you can have. Noah Cameron allows 1 hit through 7 innings. The Reds have 4 hits all night. Man.

Managers and players often will shy away from applying too much importance to a game in early June, but after the past 24 hours the Reds have endured, pretty clear that tonight's win meant a little more.

Tito: "I thought we pitched pretty good. Andrew had a real tough fourth inning. He just couldn't finish hitters that inning. Our bullpen really strung it together. Did a really good job."

Spencer Steer: "Losing Elly the other day, he's obviously a massive part of our team. It's on us to fill that void and find ways to win ball games without him. Just an unreal job by everyone. Talk about willing a victory."

Multi-homer night for Spence!

[Kansas City Royals @Royals]

Have a night, Noah. 👏

[Jeff Wallner @JeffWallner]

With the current state of the bullpen and team at the moment, the Reds needed their aces -- Abbott and Burns -- to be really good tonight and tomorrow. If not, sets up a really rough stretch.

Also, special shoutout to my wife's uncle, Robert Lemmink, a longtime usher at Great American Ball Park and an all-around great guy. He's in a serious battle with ALS right now, so thinking about him and the whole family. #LouGehrigDay

Always enjoy when I work games for MLB. com and I get a stat/note from @SlangsOnSports because it's always exactly what I need to tell the full story. It also makes me smile because I know she's out there doing what she loves, and that's awesome. #LouGehrigDay
