Overview
- In the fourth inning Tuesday, Fernando Tatis Jr. leaped at the right-field wall to take a homer away from Tyler Stephenson, marking his fourth robbery in his last 27 Petco Park games.
- Tatis described the grab as probably his best yet, citing the quicker read on a 102 mph line drive.
- After the catch, he nearly doubled off Gavin Lux at first base.
- Stephenson later delivered a two-run opposite-field homer in the ninth to give Cincinnati a 4-2 win.
- The result tightened the NL race: the Reds improved to 73-72 and moved within three games of the Mets for the final wild card, the Padres fell to 79-66 and sit two back of the Dodgers and three up on the Mets, and Cincinnati followed with a 2-1 win Wednesday to take the series.
