Reds 12 Rockies 6

Rece Hinds clobbered a double, triple and homer to make MLB history. The Reds busted out their bats for a five run second, a four run 7th, and a four homer night.

The Reds led 5-0, the Rockies cut it to 5-4 following a 44 minute 3rd inning rain delay, the Reds scored the game's next six runs to lead 11-4.

Rece Hinds: 3 H, 2B, 3B, 458-foot HR, 2 RBI...Needing a single for the cycle in the 8th, he struck out. His five extra-base hits (2B-HR-2B-3B-HR) are the most by a player in his first two career games. His 2B was at 110.1 mph and HR 112.7 mph. I guarantee you if pitchers continue to throw him strikes, he will continue to obliterate baseballs.

No. 7-8-9 hitters: 7 for 13, 2 HR, 2 2B, 1 3B, 5 R, 6 RBI.

Tyler Stephenson: 3 H, 3 R, 2 RBI, 2 2B, 421-foot HR.

Lodolo: 3.2 IN, 5 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 4 K, 2 HR, 69 pitches/36 strikes. 
Struck out the side in the 1st. Momentum halted after 44 minute rain delay in 3rd: Allowed 2B, HBP before getting final out. Then a four run 4th, all after two were out, Brenton Doyle HR, Michael Toglia 2-R HR, single. Done. 

Santiago Espinal: H, RBI, 2 R. Slick play at 2B + E.
