Days after lifting the Cincinnati Reds to a win over the Philadelphia Phillies, pitcher Andrew Abbott secured the biggest win of his year off the mound.
The All-Star popped the question to his longtime girlfriend, Cincinnati reporter Lindsay Stone, this week.
The MLB star took to Instagram on Friday to reveal that he had got down on one knee to Stone, a local television news anchor.
In photos shared to the social media platform, Abbott could be seen clutching the ring box in front of an elated Stone.
The pitcher knelt down on the rooftop of the Lytle Park Hotel in downtown Cincinnati with the city skyline, including the Reds stadium, in the background.
Red rose petals were scattered across the romantic setting while ‘Marry Me’ appeared to be spelt out in giant block letter signs.

‘Working in my hometown has been a dream I never took for granted, and I’m so thankful for every person who trusted me to tell their stories along the way. For this Cincy girl, it truly doesn’t get more special than that,’ Stone wrote on Facebook.
‘Though I’m stepping into a new season filled with exciting opportunities and new adventures, this community will always hold a special place in my heart.’
Meanwhile, Abbott, who was the Reds Opening Day starting pitcher, has endured a tough start to the season, with a 6.59 ERA through his first six starts.
However, the left-hander has since bounced back in past five starts on the mound. In that stretch, he has pitched a 1.29 ERA and 19 strikeouts.
