The wee hours of the morning saw Matt McLain unleash a 2-run homer as part of a 3-run 8th inning that put the Cincinnati Reds game against the Los Angeles Angels on ice for good. Alexis Diaz fired a scoreless 9th inning to lock down the 7-3 victory, and that paired with the afternoon’s 9-4 win gave the Reds a sweep of the doubleheader day and a sweep of the series as a whole.
The Reds are simply inpenetrable on the road anymore, their record now swelling to 29-12 over their last 41 contests away from Great American Ball Park.
