GOODYEAR, Ariz. — The Cincinnati Reds defeated the San Francisco Giants 5-4 Saturday at Goodyear Ballpark.
The game in three paragraphs:
— The Reds (17-19-1) wore special green-trimmed uniforms with a 40th-anniversary patch on the left sleeve recognizing Cincinnati as the first Major League Baseball team to wear green in honor of the St. Patrick's Day holiday.
— Left-hander Cody Reed's (4 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 3 K) first start of the spring began smoothly but ended rocky after he gave up solo home runs to Giants catcher Buster Posey and designated hitter Austin Slater in the top of the fourth inning.
