For the second time in as many games, the Reds faced at late 2-1 deficit at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies. For the second time in as many games, the Reds walked away winners.
Unable to crack starter Aaron Nola (7 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 0 BB, 8 K) all night, the Reds once again took it to the Phillies bullpen, scoring two runs in the bottom of the ninth off of closer Dalier Hinojosa for a thrilling walk-off victory on Opening Night.
Redemption for Schebler
The hero of the game was none other than Scott Schebler, who was making his first start in a Reds uniform.
