Cincinnati Reds blown out by Padres, No. 9 hitter Brett Sullivan in road trip finale

SAN DIEGO – There are a lot of San Diego Padres hitters who command a lot of attention to during pregame pitcher’s meeting, but backup catcher Brett Sullivan probably wasn’t very high on the Cincinnati Reds’ priority list.

Sullivan, who had six career games to his name entering Wednesday’s series finale, did all the early damage as the Reds lost, 7-1, at Petco Park to end their six-game West Coast road trip. Sullivan laced a two-run double down the first base line in the second inning against Reds starter Luis Cessa for his third career hit.
