CINCINNATI -- Leading off the bottom of the 11th inning, Phillip Ervin crushed a home run to center field and gave the Reds a 2-1 walk-off victory over the Giants at Great American Ball Park on Friday. The victory snapped Cincinnati's four-game losing streak.
On a 1-1 slider from Giants reliever Ray Black, Ervin tattooed the ball to the deepest part of the ballpark and watched it land near the batter's eye for the first walk-off hit of his career.
Reds starter Anthony DeSclafani turned in another good performance in a no-decision with one run allowed on six hits over a season-high 7 2/3 innings.
