Christian Encarnasian-Strand hit a three-run homer in the first innings of five runs and Gavin Lux flew a Grand Slam in the fourth of eight runs to win Sincinati Reds 13–1 against Arizona Diamondback in the second game of his three-game series on Saturday afternoon.
Tyler Stephenson had three hits, one RBI and scored twice and Spencer Stere scored two hits, two RBI and Reds, one run for RBI and Reds, who defeated Diamondback in 10 innings on Saturday after six innings due to rain on Friday night.
Reds Nick Martinez (5-6) took advantage of the initial run support and played six innings, allowing six runs and six hits, while exiting six and driving one.
Arizona’s Rhine Nelson went back to the initial rotation after the upcoming Tommy John surgery of former National League Cym Sai Young Winner Corbin Burns.
Nelson (2–2) made a thick start before the three-plus innings went on to hit three runs and four, while out of three and four.
Eugenio Suarez prepared for Arizona, who lost two consecutive consecutives after a four-game winning line.
Nelson launched two of the first three batsmen, which they faced, before the Encarnasian-Strand launched a three-run Homer in the left area for a 3–0 lead.
Encarnacion-Strand also worked in the initial game of the series on Friday, and gave a walk-off single in the 10th innings when the game resumed on Saturday.
Nelson ran his third batsman of Inning and Stephenon placed the runners second and third. Stear then scored the house a 4–0 run, and Jake Fraley brought another house with a fielder’s choice groundout for a 5–0 lead.
Diamondback returned one run in the other when Suarez led a 5–1 lead with a domestic run.
Nelson settled and retired in seven in a row before reaching the first two batsmen in the fourth and replaced him by Kendall Gravman, who gave a divided single and hit a batsman to force a run, before Lux made a Grand Slam 10–1.
Cincinnati was not in inning because Stephenson and Stear continuously made the RBI singles 12–1, and another run scored on the groundout for a 13–1 lead.
