Eugenio Suarez supplied the biggest swing of Cincinnati’s rally, hitting a grand slam in the ninth. Héctor Rodríguez also homered twice during the game, including during the Reds’ late push.

After Héctor Rodríguez’s ninth-inning homer trimmed the margin, Eugenio Suarez’s grand slam brought the Reds within a run. Jose Trevino’s sacrifice fly brought Dane Myers home to tie the game, and Tyler Stephenson’s single scored Matt McLain for the go-ahead run.

San Francisco had built its advantage through home runs from Jonah Cox, Rafael Devers and Shay Whitcomb, then added support when Drew Gilbert’s double brought three runners across in the eighth. But Dylan Smith allowed the final rally to continue in the ninth and took the loss.

The Reds extended their winning streak, while the Giants saw their losing streak continue. A game shaped by a late comeback ended with Cincinnati still standing after the final turn.
