Elly De La Cruz hit a two-run single in the seventh inning to break open a tie game and the Cincinnati Reds went on to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-2

Brady Singer took a shutout into the eighth inning and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 on Sunday for their fourth straight victory.

The Rays are reportedly open to trading Yandy Diaz, possibly allowing the Red Sox to acquire one of their top trade deadline targets.

Tampa Bay could muster only three hits on Sunday, and the Cincinnati Reds grabbed a 2-1 victory to sweep the series at Great American Ball Park. The Rays are back to .500 now for the first time in two months.

CINCINNATI — The Rays continued their majors’-worst skid with a 2-1 loss to the Reds on Sunday. The defeat was the 18th in their last 25 games, coming after a 25-9 run during which they had the best record in the league.

The Tampa Bay Rays are struggling, and if they sell at the deadline, the Boston Red Sox seem like an ideal fit for Yandy Diaz, ESPN's Buster Olney says.

In the bottom of the sixth, Taylor Walls made a costly two-run error to give the Reds the lead. Josh Lowe had a pinch-hit RBI single in the top of the seventh to pull the Rays even at 2.
