Bochy’s hunch pays off as Giants beat Reds

SAN FRANCISCO — With the help of a stout bullpen and a bold move by manager Bruce Bochy, the Giants beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-3 Tuesday night before a crowd of 37,809 at AT&T Park.

Trailing 3-0, the Giants chased Cincinnati starter Tyler Mahle in a fifth inning during which a hunch by Bochy paid off in a big way during a four-run uprising.

Belt opened the inning with a solo home run to right field, his eighth of the season and second in two nights.

Evan Longoria, Brandon Crawford and Austin Jackson all followed with singles to load the bases.
