IT AIN’T OVER ‘TIL IT’S OVER
Yesterday vs Wsh, the Reds trailed 5-3 with
2 outs in the bottom of the ninth and RHP Kyle Finnegan pitching for the
Nationals…2b Jonathan India doubled in a 10-pitch at-bat…the next batter
CF Will Benson hit a 2-run HR to tie the game.
…1b Christian Encarnacion-Strand, who was riding an 0-for-12 skid, went back-to-back with Benson
for a game-winning HR…it was Encarnacion-Strand’s third walkoff RBI in
just 66 career games, a club record…he also became the first Reds player
to break a 12+ hitless at-bat streak by hitting a walkoff HR since Devin
Mesoraco snapped an 0-for-15 with a walkoff HR vs Atl in the 10th inning on
6/2/17 at GABP (3-2 win) courtesy: Elias Sports Bureau
