Wilmer Flores lifted a solo shot to deep left center to bag his fourth home run in as many games. The big fly came with 2 outs in the 9th inning down 5 runs and was only San Francisco’s second hit of the day—still, Flores made sure the series split ended on his terms.
After taking the first two barn-burners, the San Francisco Giants petered out against the Cincinnati Reds. They dropped a winnable one on Wednesday and in today’s 5-1 loss, winning never felt like an option against Reds rookie starter Andrew Abbott who dominated over 8 breezy innings.
