The Cincinnati Reds beat the San Francisco Giants 2-0 on Monday night. Here are our postgame takeaways:
Eighth Inning Rally
With the game tied at zero and Giants starter Logan Webb out of the game, the Reds took advantage of Camilo Doval’s wildness. Spencer Steer led off the inning with a walk. Jacob Hurtubise was hit by a pitch. Jose Trevino laid down a sacrifice bunt to move both runners over.
After a TJ Friedl walked, Blake Dunn doubled to right field to score Steer and Hurtubise to give the Reds a 2-0 lead.
Greene’s Career Outing
After not getting run support in his first two outings of the season, two runs is all Hunter Greene would need on Monday.
Greene tossed a career-high 8 2/3 innings, giving up just four hits and striking out seven.
After getting Lamonte Wade Jr. and Willy Adames out to begin the ninth, Jung Hoo Lee singled and Matt Chapman walked, making Terry Francona bring on Tony Santillan for the save.
Heliot Ramos hit a 106.7 mph line drive to left field, but Jacob Hurtubise made a diving catch to end the game.
