Cincinnati Reds: Late-game rally turns tide

The Cincinnati Reds’ quest for a perfect 162-0 season lives on after Opening Day. Trailing from the second inning, the Reds looked doomed for a loss to last season’s cellar-dwelling Philadelphia Phillies. But a five-run rally in the bottom of the eighth propelled the Redlegs to a 6-2 win.

Starter Raisel Iglesias went six strong innings, allowing just six hits and one two-run homerun, with a game-best seven punchouts. Jumbo Diaz, Tony Cingrani, Ross Ohlendorf and J.J. Hoover combined to allow zero hits and just one walk over the next three innings, with Ohlendorf — in just 1/3 inning of work — was credited with the win.
