Rookie's Blast Sparks Reds' Comeback | MLB News

Rookie Héctor Rodríguez stunned the baseball world by leading off for the Reds in a desperate bid to break their scoring slump—and it worked. In a wild 10-9 comeback against the Giants, Rodríguez crushed two homers, including a jaw-dropping blast into McCovey Cove that ignited the team’s rally. The Reds, down by six with none out in the ninth, erupted for seven runs and pulled off only the third time in franchise history they’ve come back from such a deficit. The Giants had never lost when holding that big of a lead in the final inning. Rodríguez, despite an uneven start since being called up, showed clutch poise and good hands at the plate. Suárez delivered key hits, and small plays like bunts and steals kept momentum alive. Manager Francona praised the team’s grit after a brutal stretch, calling it a hard-fought but unforgettable win.
