Facing Rockies fireball-closer Victor Vodnik in the ninth inning and trailing, 3-2, Cincinnati's Will Benson tripled off the top of the wall in left-center field. He nearly walked the Rockies off, but at least he drove in Spencer Steer, who had led off the inning with a single, to tie the contest at Great American Ball Park.

Will Benson laced the tiebreaking RBI triple in the ninth inning and scored the winning run on an error two batters later for the host Cincinnati Reds, who edged the Colorado Rockies 4-3 in the middle game of a three-game series.
