Keibert Ruiz’s second home run in two games (and third this season) put the Washington Nationals up 6-5 in the top of the seventh inning tonight, after the visiting team in Great American Ball Park blew 1-0, 4-2, and 5-3 leads in the third of four with Cincinnati Reds.
Erick Fedde struggled on the mound in the start, going just 4 2⁄3 innings in which he gave up seven hits and five earned runs, but Mason Thompson, Alberto Baldonado, and Jhon Romero combined for 1 1⁄3 scoreless before Andres Machado gave up a run in the bottom half of the seventh, as the Reds rallied to tie it up again, 6-6.
