Rob Lowe Cheers Dodgers During Reds Playoff Game

Los Angeles, CA

Fans at Dodger Stadium experienced mixed emotions during Game 1 of the National League wild-card series as actor Rob Lowe passionately cheered for the Los Angeles Dodgers. This moment felt particularly poignant for Cincinnati Reds fans, as it came on the heels of a home run hit off Reds starter Hunter Greene in the third inning.

Lowe, who grew up in Dayton, Ohio, has publicly expressed his love for the Reds, especially for their legendary team, the Big Red Machine. Despite his roots, he showed his allegiance to the Dodgers on this occasion, dressed head-to-toe in Dodger blue and enthusiastically raising his fists as Dodger player Tommy Edman rounded the bases.

At age 12, Lowe’s family moved from Dayton to California, where he continued to pursue his passions, including baseball at Santa Monica High School. In a 2015 interview, he spoke fondly of his childhood support for the Reds, reflecting on how their legacy influenced him.

As fans watched Lowe’s contrasting support unfold on screen, the atmosphere at Dodger Stadium remained electric, combining nostalgia for the Reds with excitement for the Dodgers. Video clips of Lowe celebrating the game can be seen on Twitter via @MLB.
