Colin Moran doesn’t typically show a lot of emotion during games, but there was a lot riding on his swing in the sixth inning Sunday.
Moran, facing his former team, shouted in frustration when he was robbed of a home run in the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader. Now he was at the plate with a chance to play hero, trailing by a run with the bases loaded.
Once Moran connected on a 92-mph fastball from Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Heath Hembree, Moran watched the ball sail into the seats and flipped his bat after his first homer in a Reds uniform.
