McLain's HR Seals Reds' Win | Cincinnati Reds News

Matt McLain’s ninth home run of the year capped a dramatic comeback as the Reds stunned the Athletics with a 3-2 victory, ending their five-game skid and extending their winning streak to five of six series. After Lawrence Butler gave Oakland an early lead with a leadoff homer, Jacob Lopez dazzled with nine strikeouts — a season high — but couldn’t hold the team together. The Reds tied it in the sixth on Jonah Heim’s double, then took the lead in the seventh on Noeli Marte’s sacrifice fly. Alexis Diaz shut the door in the eighth, and Sam Moll sealed it with a strikeout in the ninth, proving Cincinnati’s bullpen is firing on all cylinders.
