Pesky Padres perpetuate prominence over Reds, win series opener 5-4

Jesse Winker kablammed a 2-run homer off San Diego Padres reliever Nabil Crismatt, and it was the kind of sequence you won’t soon forget once you see it. For that, the Cincinnati Reds LF and presumptive NL All Star starter gets some dap - he added a walk on the night for good measure, too.

Unfortunately, it just wasn’t quite enough.

Honorable Mentions are due to: Joey Votto, who had a pair of hits and scored a run; Shogo Akiyama, who had a pair of hits and drove in a run; Brad Brach, who fanned a pair in a scoreless IP; and Art Warren, who fanned a pair in 1.
