Overview

  • Cincinnati broke a 1-1 tie with a five-run eighth inning, capped by Spencer Steer’s three-run homer, to secure the series finale at Chase Field.
  • Noelvi Marte tripled and scored on a throwing error to tie the game in the sixth, then led off the eighth with a single that set up the go-ahead rally.
  • Brady Singer dominated with six innings of one-hit, nine-strikeout pitching, allowing only a first-inning run before the bullpen closed it out.
  • Arizona’s Zac Gallen delivered a quality start with one run allowed over six innings and seven strikeouts, but received little offensive support.
  • The Reds remained the only MLB club without a series sweep this season, with outlets listing the streak at either 42 or 43 consecutive series.
