Reds rally to beat Rockies 12-8, break 7-game slide (May 20, 2017)

CINCINNATI (AP) Scott Schebler’s homer completed Cincinnati’s comeback from a five-run deficit on Saturday, and the Reds ended a seven-game losing streak – their longest in a year – with a 12-8 victory over the Colorado Rockies.

Cincinnati’s losing streak was its longest since it dropped 11 straight last May.

Colorado rookie Antonio Senzatela was in line for an NL-leading seventh win before the Rockies’ bullpen let the big lead slip away. Senzatela had a bases-loaded single during a six-run fifth inning that put the Rockies ahead 8-3.

Devon Mesoraco hit a solo homer to start the Reds’ sixth against Chad Qualls, who faced only four batters.
