Eugenio Suarez's grand slam highlights 7-run 9th inning as the Reds rally past
Giants 10-9

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Eugenio Suarez hit a grand slam as part of Cincinnati's
seven-run ninth inning as the Reds overcame a six-run deficit and beat the San
Francisco Giants 10-9 on Wednesday.
The Reds have a record of 3-1,917 when trailing by six or more runs in the
ninth inning. Besides Wednesday's comeback, Cincinnati rallied from six-or-more
runs down in May 1958 against the Chicago Cubs and May 1918 against St. Louis,
according to the Elias Sport Bureau.
Chicago's comeback prevented the Giants from completing their first three-game
sweep of the season. San Francisco is the only MLB team that has not swept a
three-game set this season.
Facing a 9-3 deficit at the start of the ninth, rookie Hector Rodriguez opened
the inning by hitting his second homer of the game. After a single by Elly De
La Cruz and two walks, Dylan Smith replaced reliever Spencer Bivens.
Suarez hit the slam off Smith (0-5). Suarez's 19th home run of the season cut
the Giants' lead to 9-8. Dane Myers and Matt McLain reached on bunt singles
before Jose Trevino's sacrifice fly plated the tying run. Pinch-hitter Tyler
Stephenson put the Reds in front with a single that scored McLain.
The Giants got three two-run homers in the game. Jonah Cox went deep in the
second inning, Rafael Devers hit his 29th in the fifth, and Shay Whitcomb hit
his third in the sixth. Devers homered all three games of the series.
Pinch-hitter Drew Gilbert hit a three-run double to right-center with two outs
in the eighth to extend San Francisco's lead to 9-3.
Cincinnati's Sal Stewart hit a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning. He leads
the majors with 100 RBIs and tied Jim Greengrass (1953) for the Reds' franchise
record for RBIs by a rookie.
