The SFGiants had to wait nearly a full day, but they finally got their sixth straight win.
Joc Pederson doubled to lead off the 10th inning, driving in the go-ahead run, and the Giants beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 in a game that wasbecause of rain. The win moved them to 4-0 on this road trip against two young NL Central teams, the Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates.
When play resumed at 5:40 p.m. ET in Cincinnati, both teams had long-awaited moves to make. Lefty Alex Young had been on the mound a night earlier when the rain arrived, but Reds manager David Bell brought in righty Lucas Sims. Gabe Kapler countered by sending LaMonte Wade Jr. up to hit for J.D. Davis, but Wade struck out. After hitting a batter to load the bases, Sims struck out Mike Yastrzemski to get his team out of a jam that lingered overnight and keep the game tied at 2-2.
The Reds had a great opportunity to win it in the ninth when electric rookie Elly De La Cruz drew a leadoff walk and stole second, but Tyler Rogers picked him off with a nifty move to second and cruised through the rest of the inning. The mistake by the young infielder might have cost his team the game, and the streaking Giants were all too happy to take advantage of it. Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
The rain delay prevented Webb from chasing another complete game, or at least trying to get through eight innings. He was at just 86 pitches when the game was halted, but there was nothing he could do Tuesday but watch and start to turn the page to his start this weekend at Nationals Park.
