The loss dropped the Reds to 56-52, and they'll need to win July 30 in the series finale against the Dodgers to avoid their first sweep of the season. Cincinnati is expected to send starter Nick Martinez (9-9, 4.69 ERA) to the mound against probable Dodgers starter, Shohei Ohtani (0-0, 1.50 ERA).

Will Smith doubled home James Outman with the go-ahead run with two outs in the ninth and finished with 2-for-5 with two RBIs to rally the Los Angeles Dodgers past the host Cincinnati Reds, 5-4 on Tuesday.
