A tense 2-1 victory for the Cincinnati Reds over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night was overshadowed by a concerning moment for their bullpen. Closer Emilio Pagán, who had just sealed the win with a clean 1-2-3 ninth inning for his fifth save, appeared to injure himself on his final pitch.

After delivering the pitch to Giants pinch hitter Daniel Susac, who flew out to the warning track, Pagán was seen wincing in discomfort. The injury casts a shadow on what was another strong performance, as Pagán extended his scoreless streak to six games and six innings.

Following the game, Reds manager Terry Francona confirmed the concern, stating, "We got to get him checked out. His hammy grabbed a little bit so we need to check him out. He's getting looked at right now." For a Reds team relying on late-inning stability, the health of their closer will be a major storyline to watch in the coming days.
