Reds 10 Marlins 4 (10)
It wasn't easy....well, until the 10th inning.
The first eight Reds reached in the 10th, and they scored seven runs to beat the Marlins and take 3 of 4 in the series.
It was the most runs scored in an extra inning since seven vs the Braves in 1985 (per Bally)
They stand 56-59 on the season. Next up: 3 games in Milwaukee.
The Reds gave Hunter Greene a 3-0 lead into the 4th, but he gave up three in the 4th to tie the game and snap his 24 inning scoreless streak.
It remained 3-3 to the fateful 10th. Tyler Stephenson walked to force in a run, TJ Friedl was hit by a pitch, forcing in a run. Spencer Steer singled in a run. Jeimer Candelario delivered two more with a single...and it went on and on.
