The Washington Nationals rallied to beat the Reds 8-7 in 10 innings at Great American Ball Park last night in a game heard on WRBI. Cincinnati led 5-0 after the 1st inning. The highlight of the frame was a Tyler Stephenson grand slam. Daylen Lile’s two-run homer in the top of the 10th off Tony Santillan was the difference in the game. Reds starter Nick Lodolo pitched four innings, allowing six hits, five runs (all earned), three walks, and six strikeouts. The Reds will try to avoid the series sweep this afternoon when they send righthander Chase Burns to the mound. He’s 4-1 with a 2.11 earned run average. The Nats will go with lefthander Foster Griffin. He’s also 4-1 with a 2.12 ERA. Coverage on 103.9 FM begins following the Noon news block.
