DENVER | Will Benson drove in three runs, Jeimer Candelario and Tyler Stephenson each hit a two-run home run, and the Cincinnati Reds blew past the Colorado Rockies 13-3 on Monday night.

Despite entering the matchup 29th among 30 MLB teams in batting average and hits, Cincinnati had its way with the Rockies' pitchers, racking up 18 hits, with each of the nine players in its starting lineup getting at least one hit. The 18 hits were tied for the most Colorado has allowed in a game this season.

4/08/24 Matt's Take | People's Defender. After a very disappointing series loss to a bad Mets squad, the Cincinnati Reds go right into playing the Brewers, an NL-Central Opponent who has dominated the Reds in years past.

4/06/24 Will Benson: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Players. If it is Saturday, then it is time for another edition of Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players. After two weeks featuring players on the Los Angeles Angels, I'm moving to the Midwest and setting my sights on Will Benson of the Cincinnati Reds. Benson isn't a spring chicken. Now 25, he is a former first round draft pick, selected 14th overall out of high school in the 2016 draft by the Cleveland Indians (now Guardians). A left-handed hitter, Benson fits the mold of an outfielder selected in the first round as he has great size and athleticism with massive raw power. But the road to The Show has not been easy for Benson as he spent parts of seven seasons down on the farm. So why do I think Benson is an up-and-coming dynasty player? Let's find out.

3/02/24 3 Reds bold predictions with MLB spring training underway. Although 2023 did not end with a playoff appearance for the Cincinnati Reds, it was a special season for the city and fan base. Hope was restored, as a path to sustained success was seemingly paved by the likes of Will Benson, Matt McLain, Spencer Steer, Andrew Abbott, Alexis Diaz and, of course, Elly De La Cruz. It is sad but also fitting that a potential metamorphosis took shape in what could be Joey Votto's final year playing in The Queen City. The front office did not make many earth-shattering or high-end acquisitions to build off the team's progress, settling for solid yet unspectacular free agent signings like Jeimer Candelario, Frankie Montas, Nick Martinez and Emilio Pagan.
