The San Francisco Giants defeated the Cincinnati Reds 6-4 on Opening Day with a dramatic ninth-inning rally at Great American Ballpark.
Wilmer Flores hit a decisive three-run home run with two outs in the ninth, following Patrick Bailey's game-tying single to right-center field.
Heliot Ramos contributed with a two-run homer in the fourth inning after an 11-pitch at-bat, keeping the Giants within striking distance.
