CINCINNATI (AP) -- Marlon Byrd hit a bases-loaded single and a tiebreaking solo homer in the eighth inning Thursday night, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants.
The Reds have won 12 of their last 15 regular-season games against the Giants at Great American Ball Park.
Byrd's two-run single off struggling Tim Lincecum put Reds starter Johnny Cueto in position for a win. He turned a 3-2 lead over to the NL's worst bullpen in the eighth, and it got away.
