Will Benson tied it in the ninth inning with an RBI triple and scored on second baseman Orlando Arcia’s fielding error to give the Cincinnati Reds a 4-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday.
The Rockies had multiple heroes and they needed every one of them in their 3-2 win over the Reds on Friday night at Great American Ball Park.
The Rockies entered Friday night 21-72. Seventy-two losses, and the Reds couldn't beat them in a 3-2 loss Friday night. Colorado started German Marquez Friday night, who entered with a record of 3-10. The Reds scored just one run off him.
The best start of the four Chase Burns has logged so far for the Cincinnati Reds wasn't enough to spur the team a win.
Santiago Espinal led off the ninth inning with a double to left field. After a TJ Friedl was retired and Matt McLain struck out, the Rockies intentionally walked Elly De La Cruz for the third time of the night, and Austin Hays struck out to end the game.
On its face, a three-game set in steamy July against 21-win Colorado might not seem like much of an attraction. But it should be.
