  • May 5: Eugenio Suárez, Jesse Winker and Derek Dietrich hit back-to-back-to-back home runs off Giants pitcher Jeff Samardzija on three-consecutive pitches in the first inning.

  • May 28: Derek Dietrich hit three home runs and had 6 RBIs in a win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The three home runs gave Dietrich 7 home runs versus the Pirates this season and also marked his last six hits all being home runs.[19]

  • August 18: Kevin Gausman threw an immaculate inning, striking out all three batters on nine pitches, the 6th such feat in Reds history. This was the second time Gausman had thrown an immaculate inning, with the first coming on April 23, 2018.[31]

The 14 homers tied Hall of Famer Frank Robinson (August 1962) and Greg Vaughn (September 1999) for Cincinnati's franchise record by any player—rookie or veteran—in a calendar month. Aquino's 14 round-trippers also set an NL record for rookies in any calendar month.[35][36]
  • September 4: Michael Lorenzen became the second player in baseball history to hit a homer, earn the win as the pitcher and play in the field in the same game when the Reds defeated the Phillies, 8–5. The other player to achieve the feat was Babe Ruth on June 13, 1921.[37]
  • September 4: The four home runs hit in the Reds 8–5 victory over the Phillies were by players who weren't in the starting lineup: Logan Morrison and Jay Bruce for the Phillies and Michael Lorenzen and José Iglesias for the Reds. It was the first time since 1900 in which four players who weren't in the starting lineup for either team entered the game and hit a home run, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.[38]
  • September 18: Eugenio Suárez hit his 48th home run of the season, the most ever by a Venezuelan player, breaking the previous mark of 47 set by Andrés Galarraga in 1996.[39]
  • September 25: Eugenio Suárez hit his 49th home run of the season, which moved him ahead of Mike Schmidt and Adrián Beltré for the modern NL record by a third baseman.[40]
  • September 26: Marty Brennaman broadcasts his final game as the voice of the Reds on radio network 700 WLW. Brennaman has been the voice of the Reds for the past 46 seasons and is just one of eight major league broadcasters to cover one team for 46 seasons.[41][42]
  • September 30: Eugenio Suárez is named the National League Player of the Month for the month of September. Suárez recorded a .337/.455/.747 slash line with 10 homers and 18 RBIs over 25 games in September.
