Entering the bottom of the ninth inning Monday, the Reds hadn’t shown much sign of life at the plate.
St. Louis Cardinals starter Daniel Poncedeleon tossed seven no-hit innings in his Major League debut. Phillip Ervin ended the bid for history with a pinch-hit single in the eighth.
Down to the final out, Eugenio Suarez hit a game-tying, solo home run to left field. Four batters later, rookie Dilson Herrera drilled a walk-off single into center, handing the Reds’ a stunning 2-1 win at Great American Ball Park.
