Cincinnati scored 3 runs in the third but didn’t put another runner on base in Ross Stripling’s longest outing of the season.
Despite getting the longest outing of the season from Ross Stripling, the Giants weren’t able to capitalize in key spots Wednesday against the Reds and were done in by one bad inning that ultimately spelled an end to their seven-game winning streak.
San Francisco put the would-be tying and go-ahead runs on first and second in the eighth inning but, rather than the late-game magic that has been so prevalent of late, it only went down in a string of missed opportunities. The Giants’ 26 come-from-behind wins are the fifth-most in the majors, but it wasn’t in the cards Wednesday night.
Luis Matos flew out to end the eighth-inning opportunity, and Reds All-Star closer Alexis Diaz mowed down Blake Sabol, David Villar and Brett Wisely in order to close out the 3-2 win, handing the Giants their first loss since the All-Star break. Stripling went six innings, his longest outing of the season and first time going five innings since May 7, but was done in by a third inning in which he surrendered all four of the Reds’ four hits, capped off by a three-run homer from No. 9 hitter Will Benson that accounted for all of Cincinnati’s runs. Cincinnati didn’t put a runner on base in any other inning, an encouraging sign for a team looking for a more stable five-man rotation in the second half.
TJ Friedl was the only Reds batter to reach base after the three-run homer in the third. He was initially called out trying to stretch a single into a double but the Reds challenged and video replay showed that Friedl’s swim move with his right arm was able to avert Wisely’s tag.
