Tyler Stephenson clubed a two-run homer for one of his three hits, Nick Martinez defeated seven quality innings and Cincinnati Reds 7-4 on Monday.
Stephenson came into batting. 177 but had matched the individual hit with his last six matches. He had three RBI for Reds, who received two hits from TJ Freedal, Santiago Aspinal and Garat Hampson.
Martinez (3–5) received six hits without walking, and all three runs were allowed in the seventh, including two-run homer of Salvador Perez. After losing three directly, Cincinnati has won two out of three.
Reds had its own way with Cannes Cities City Starter Michael Lorringen (3-6), who allowed six runs, 11 hits and three walks in five innings. It first allowed more than five runs in a competition by a Royals starter this season.
Cincinnati did not waste any time on the scoreboard. Freedal opened the game with a double that made it on the right area wall and eventually came home on Austin Hayes’ sacrifice fly.
Reds added three more runs in the third when he exploded five hits against Lorringen. Gavin Lux and Stephenson brought each RBI single and Will Banson to the correct area with second sacrifice of Cincinnati.
Meanwhile, Martinez allowed its first Baserners in the fourth to allow solo-red Jonathan India and Vinny Passquantino via singles. However, Pereas avoided any loss after going to inning-ending 4-3 double play.
In the fifth, the main attraction of Stephenson’s big day came when he sent the first pitch of Lorengen to the Ciner, with a man, well on the left area wall.
Royals finally reached Martinez in the seventh. Following the second single of Pacuvantino, Perce left a huge homer for the first additional-base hit of Canus City. Machael Garcia again doubled and finally scored on Nick Loftin’s sacrifice fly.
Aspinal provided some insurance with RBI double in the eighth.
Census City loaded the bag in the ninth, but scored only one run through Emilio Pagan’s child. Royals have scored a total of 11 runs losing three out of three.
