Tucker Barnhart’s third hit of the game knocked in Eugenio Suarez from third base in the top of the 10th inning to give the Cincinnati Reds a 6-5 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks Friday evening in Arizona’s home opener.
Cincinnati was able to escape with the win, their fifth straight, after squandering a 5-0 lead after six and a half innings.
Amir Garrett retired the home team in the bottom of the 10th inning to earn his first save. After a cross-up pitch between Garrett and Barnhart resulted in runners moving to second and third on a passed ball with two outs, Carson Kelly was intentionally walked to load the bases.
