Overview

  • Gavin Sheets made a diving catch in the fifth inning and capped the rally with a three-run homer in the seventh, turning a 4-1 deficit into a 6-4 lead.
  • Luis Arraez opened the Padres’ scoring with a solo homer in the fifth and Jake Cronenworth added a two-run shot in the sixth to narrow the gap.
  • Bryan Hoeing logged 1⅔ scoreless innings in relief to earn the win, and Robert Suárez sealed his MLB-leading 23rd save in the ninth.
  • Starter Randy Vásquez allowed four earned runs over 4⅓ innings, while Reds lefty Andrew Abbott gave up one run in five solid frames.
  • The victory evened San Diego’s weekend series in Cincinnati and provided a quick rebound after Friday’s 8-1 loss in which they were no-hit into the eighth inning.
