Iglesias rights ship, shuts down Padres

How did Iglesias make the adjustment so well? He had some help.

A 3-0 Reds had evaporated within the first three batters of the first inning when Iglesias hit leadoff batter Yangervis Solarte and allowed Yonder Alonso's single. Matt Kemp followed with a no-doubt three-run homer that tied the game before Justin Upton walked.

That brought pitching coach Jeff Pico and catcher Brayan Pena to the mound.

"I think maybe the biggest moment of that game was Jeff Pico going out and making a well-timed trip along with Brayan Pena to settle the kid down after walking Upton," Reds manager Bryan Price said.
