SAN FRANCISCO — – Eugenio Suarez<\/a> hit a grand slam as part of Cincinnati’s seven-run ninth inning as the Reds overcame a six-run deficit and beat the San Francisco Giants<\/a> 10-9 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Reds have a record of 3-1,917 when trailing by six or more runs in the ninth inning. Besides Wednesday’s comeback, Cincinnati rallied from six-or-more runs down in May 1958 against the Chicago Cubs<\/a> and May 1918 against St. Louis, according to the Elias Sport Bureau.<\/p>\n

The six-run lead was the largest ever squandered in the ninth inning by the Giants since at least 1901, according to Sportradar. The Giants twice had blown five-run leads in the ninth, against the Athletics on Aug. 14, 2020, and versus the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> on June 25, 1929.<\/p>\n

Chicago’s comeback prevented the Giants from completing their first three-game sweep of the season. San Francisco is the only MLB team that has not swept a three-game set this season.<\/p>\n

Facing a 9-3 deficit at the start of the ninth, rookie Hector Rodriguez<\/a> opened the inning by hitting his second homer of the game. After a single by Elly De La Cruz<\/a> and two walks, Dylan Smith<\/a> replaced reliever Spencer Bivens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Suarez hit the slam off Smith (0-5). Suarez’s 19th home run of the season cut the Giants’ lead to 9-8. Dane Myers<\/a> and Matt McLain<\/a> reached on bunt singles before Jose Trevino’s sacrifice fly plated the tying run. Pinch-hitter Tyler Stephenson<\/a> put the Reds in front with a single that scored McLain.<\/p>\n

The Giants got three two-run homers in the game. Jonah Cox<\/a> went deep in the second inning, Rafael Devers<\/a> hit his 29th in the fifth, and Shay Whitcomb<\/a> hit his third in the sixth. Devers homered all three games of the series.<\/p>\n

Pinch-hitter Drew Gilbert<\/a> hit a three-run double to right-center with two outs in the eighth to extend San Francisco’s lead to 9-3.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati’s Sal Stewart<\/a> hit a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning. He leads the majors with 100 RBI and tied Jim Greengrass (1953) for the Reds’ franchise record for RBI by a rookie.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Reds RHP Rhett Lowder<\/a> (5-8, 5.13 ERA) will face Cubs LHP David Peterson<\/a> (7-7, 5.17) at Wrigley Field on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Giants RHP Landen Roupp<\/a> (7-13, 4.34) will face visiting Arizona on Thursday night. The Diamondbacks have not named a starter.<\/p>\n
