CINCINNATI– After a rain delay of 44 minutes last night, the Reds and Rockies got back on the field at the Ballpark, Cincinnati going on to grab a second straight win, 12-6.
The Reds have now won 7 in a row over Colorado. Cincy pounded out 4 home runs on the way to the latest victory. Catcher Tyler Stephenson did it with a solo shot in the 2nd. Later that inning, Will Benson sent a 3-run blast out of the park to make the score 5-0. In the 7th, after the rain, Rece Hinds hit his second homer in as many nights, and Spencer Steer hit a 2-run dinger that same inning.
Hinds also hit a double and a triple in the game, and Stephenson added a pair of doubles, crossing home plate to score 3 times. Hinds, just called up from the minors this week, has made the most of his opportunity, having a 2nd straight incredible night, and he’s now forever in the record books, as the first player in major-league history to ever get 5 extra-base hits in his first 2 big-league games.
Tonight, Frankie Montas takes the mound for Cincinnati. He’s 4 & 6 this season, with a 4.19 ERA. 0 & 3 lefty Kyle Freeland starts for Colorado, with an ERA of 6.62. The broadcast comes to you on WRBI beginning at 6:40.
