For seven innings, the Cincinnati Reds’ bats fall asleep again. The 14-run game on Tuesday seemed like a distant memory. The Reds had one hit and no runs over the first seven innings.
That all changed when Jose Iglesias stepped to the plate to start the eighth. After making two run-saving plays with his glove earlier in the game, he provided more heroics by launching a game-tying solo home run. Two batters later, Jesse Winker put the Reds ahead for good with his second bomb in as many days.
The Reds are on their first official winning streak of the 2019 season.
