Cincinnati Reds LHP Wade Miley pitched five strong innings in the Reds' series-clinching win over the MLB-best Detroit Tigers Sunday.

Will Vest said a feeling in his pinky was bothering him but that he had "no idea" what the extent of the injury was.

Elly De La Cruz homered, scored three times and drove in three runs as the Cincinnati Reds rallied to beat the Detroit Tigers 8-4.

Led by a standout day and overall series from star shortstop Elly De La Cruz — going 7-of-14, three home runs, six RBI and seven runs — the Reds not only brought offensive flair, but took advantage of a flurry of mistakes from the Tigers.

When the Cincinnati Reds opened a three-game series with a loss to the Detroit Tigers, it was more than a forgone conclusion that the Tigers would win the at least one of the next two and take the series.

Elly De La Cruz provided some insurance in explosive fashion on Sunday, crushing a home run in the Cincinnati Reds' runaway win over the Detroit Tigers.

The Reds did tack on three too-little, too-late runs in the ninth when De La Cruz doubled home Santiago Espinal to make it 11-3, then Tyler Stephenson doubled in two more runs to make it 11-5. De La Cruz was 3-for-4, raising his average to .267.

The Detroit Tigers outfielder came up big in Friday’s 11-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Greene was 2 for 5 with a home run and 4 RBI’s as the Tigers cruised to their 46th win of the season.
