The Cincinnati Reds’ 2025 season came to an end with a tough loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, as they fell after giving up eight unanswered runs. Cincinnati jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, but a series of costly mistakes opened the door for the defending champions to take control. Despite flashes of resilience, the Reds couldn’t recover and saw their postseason hopes dashed once again. Still, the young roster showed significant growth throughout the year, offering plenty of promise for 2026 and beyond.
