YAZ HOMERS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 10TH SCORING HIMSELF AND THE AUTOMATIC RUNNER!
Whew. Jon Miller made that exciting!
Giants 8 Reds 6
Extra innings in San Francisco.
Wilmer Flores liked the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the 8th. HR to left field. All tied up at 6 with 1 out after Bailey grounds out. Action in the Reds' bullpen.
Tyler Rogers came in to pitch for the Giants and struck out the side in the top of the 8th.
Reds 6 Giants 5
The Giants' bats have returned from vacation! 4 runs scored in the bottom of the 6th, and no runs scored in the top of the 7th. It's a game again!
Reds 6 Giants 5
Trivino got out of the inning with but a single run scoring (on a walk). In the bottom of the 6th, the Giants have scored twice with 2 outs.
Reds 6 Giants 3
Verlander walked the bases loaded with 2 outs. He gets a shower. Lou Trivino is in to replace him. Top of the 6th. Still 5-1 Reds.
The Giants had runners on 2nd and 3rd with nobody out. Nobody scored.
Reds 5 Giants 1 after 5.
Fear not, baseball gods. Jung Hoo Lee took off for home on a grounder. Out number 2. Ramos went to 1st. Yaz hits a liner to short for out number 3.
A minor rally, snuffed out.
Reds 5 Giants 1, heading to the 5th.
OMG! Jung Hoo Lee tripled! Willy Adames SCORED A RUN! THE VERY FIRST ONE OF THIS SERIES! THE FANS ARE... happy.
Reds 5 Giants 1 with 1 out now, bottom of the 4th.
Wilmer Flores struck out swinging.
Patrick Bailey struck out swinging.
Tyler Fitzgerald doubled. Hope lives!
LaMonte Wade, Jr. brought his now .108 batting average (bats first, sees the most at-bats, makes no sense to me) to the plate and grounded out. Hope is on life support.
Still 5-0 Reds after 3.
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - Giants' scoring over the last 20 innings against a team with a losing record. Baseball is a funny game.
Hey! The Giants got rid of those pesky runners on 2nd and 3rd! Fitzgerald couldn't get a glove on a worm killer. It's now 5-0 Reds. Verlander is giving up hit after hit, but the announce team is riding Fitz for not knocking it down.
2 outs after a popup, runner on 1st.
Oh, my. A ball slapped off of home plate turned into 2 more runs for the Reds. The Giants really should take notes.
Reds 3 Giants 0 in the top of the 3rd, still with only 1 out, still with runners on 2nd and 3rd.
The Reds have scored a run. The Giants might benefit from examining how it was done.
Reds 1 Giants 0 in the top of the 3rd with 1 out and runners on 2nd and 3rd.
Since the Reds came to town, the Giants' bats have mostly fallen silent.
Maybe the brain trust should watch how other teams gave Cincy a losing record.
Reds 0 Giants 0 after 2.
