The Cincinnati Reds overcame a four-run deficit to defeat the Seattle Mariners 7-6 in an exciting game at Great American Ball Park on Wednesday night. The Reds had been trailing 4-0 in the fourth inning, but they rallied back with a five-run fifth inning to take the lead.
The Reds were led by Joey Votto, who had three hits, including a two-run home run in the fifth inning. Votto’s home run was the key to the Reds’ comeback, as it gave them a 5-4 lead. Eugenio Suarez and Jesse Winker also had two hits each for the Reds.
The Mariners had taken the lead in the fourth inning on a two-run home run by Domingo Santana. They added two more runs in the fifth inning to extend their lead to 4-0. However, the Reds’ five-run fifth inning was too much for the Mariners to overcome.
The Reds’ bullpen was also key to their victory, as they allowed just one run over the final four innings. Amir Garrett earned the win for the Reds, while Brad Boxberger earned the save.
The win was an important one for the Reds, as it moved them to within one game of the National League Central Division lead. It was also a great way for them to end their homestand, as they now head out on a six-game road trip.
The Reds will look to keep their momentum going on their road trip, as they face off against some tough opponents. They will have to continue to get strong performances from their offense and bullpen if they want to remain in contention for the division title.
