CINCINNATI —
There were not a lot of pitches put in play Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park.
The few that did stood out not only for their rarity but for their uniqueness.
The decisive hit was a two-run homer Freddy Galvis hit 100 feet into the air and about 10 feet beyond the left field wall in the sixth inning.
The Reds’ 3-2 victory came in a game that started 11 minutes late due to rain showers that ran from the late afternoon until shortly before the scheduled first pitch. It also denied the Padres their first four-game winning streak since the end of June.
