Tony Santillan - Collects seventh save Santillan earned the save in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Cubs, allowing two walks and zero hits while striking out two batters in one scoreless inning.
Impact With Emilio Pagan being dispatched in each of the last two games, Santillan was brought out for the ninth inning to preserve the Reds' shutout bid. It wasn't an easy outing as Santillan issued two walks while tossing 23 pitches (12 strikes), but he finished things off by striking out two of the last three batters he faced. He has yielded just one earned run in 16 of his last 17 outings and has a 1.35 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 26.2 innings since the All-Star break.

Gavin Lux - Supplies Sunday's lone run Lux went 2-for-4 with an RBI double during the Reds' 1-0 win over the Cubs on Sunday.
Impact Lux was responsible for the game's only run, when his double off Jameson Taillon in the third inning brought Matt McLain home. Lux has logged at least one hit in five of his last six games, going 8-for-22 (.364) with two doubles, two runs and one RBI over that span.

Andrew Abbott - Tosses 4.2 scoreless frames Abbott did not factor into the decision in Sunday's game against the Cubs, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out two across 4.2 innings.
Impact Abbott and the Reds' bullpen kept the Cubs off the board in Sunday's series finale, and the 26-year-old southpaw would have been in line for the win had he recorded one more out in the fifth inning. Abbott has failed to complete five innings in four of his last six starts, and over that span he has posted a 4.94 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB across 31 innings. He's slated to make his final start of the regular season next weekend on the road against the Brewers.

Sal Stewart - Losing out on playing time Stewart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Impact On the bench for the third game in a row, Stewart appears to have faded into a utility infield role while Spencer Steer has regained control of primary duties at first base. The Reds will still likely find room for Stewart in the lineup against left-handed pitching, but the rookie's opportunities to play against righties could be sporadic over the final week of the regular season.
