Published Jul 19, 2025 • 1 minute read Cincinnati Reds' TJ Friedl celebrates his home run against the Colorado Rockies run during the first inning of a baseball game, Sunday, July 13, 2025, in Cincinnati. Photo by Jay LaPrete / AP Photo NEW YORK — Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Cincinnati Reds outfielder TJ Friedl tied a major league record Friday night when he was hit by a pitch three times — by three different New York Mets hurlers. The 5-foot-8 Friedl was plunked on the left forearm by a 91 mph fastball from left-hander Sean Manaea in the third inning and on the left foot by an 85 mph slider from right-handed reliever Alex Carrillo in the fifth. Mets lefty Brandon Waddell then drilled Friedl on the left hand with a 91 mph sinker in the eighth. 'The lefties, it makes more sense because everything is away and I'm trying to stick my nose in there,' Friedl said. 'The last one, that one stung!'

It's happened to 34 different players — the only previous Reds batter was Derek Dietrich at Milwaukee on June 21, 2019. Two other major leaguers have been plunked three times in a game this season: Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams on May 31 at Arizona, and Colorado's Tyler Freeman on June 17 at Washington. Batting leadoff, Friedl finished 0 for 2 but scored twice in an 8-4 victory over the Mets. He expects to be in the lineup Saturday and joked that he didn't want a day off anyway.

Friedl drives in a pair and Reds rally for 3rd straight win, 6-5 over Twins
CINCINNATI (AP) — TJ Friedl hit a decisive two-out, two-run double in the sixth inning and the Cincinnati Reds rallied for their third straight win, 6-5 over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night. Cincinnati has won eight of its last 11 games to climb within two games of the third NL wild-card spot. Byron Buxton's solo homer off Andrew Abbott put the Twins ahead 1-0 in the third. David Festa held Cincinnati hitless until the fourth when Will Benson's two-run double put the Reds ahead 2-1. Festa left the game in the fourth with a right hand contusion after allowing four runs, two earned. Jake Fraley drove in two more runs with a single to make the score 4-1. A throwing error by Reds third baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand opened the door for a Twins rally in the sixth. Harrison Bader's three-run homer caromed over the wall off Fraley's glove to put them ahead 5-4. Abbott allowed five runs, but only one earned, dropping his ERA to 1.84. He struck out five and didn't walk a batter. Friedl's double in the sixth off Brock Stewart (1-1) drove home the go-ahead runs. Emilio Pagán pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his 17th save. Scott Barlow (2-0) earned the victory for Cincinnati with 1 1/3 innings, striking out two. Key moment Buxton reached over the center field wall to rob Benson of a solo home run to end the second then came to bat with one out in the third and hit a solo homer just over Friedl's glove in nearly the same spot. Key stat Abbott has allowed a run in the first inning just once in his past 24 starts. He allowed five runs in the first on Aug. 7, 2024 against the Marlins. Up next Reds LHP Nick Lodolo (4-5, 3.76 ERA) faces Twins RHP Bailey Ober (4-3, 4.40) on Wednesday. ___ AP MLB:
