The Cincinnati Reds got a crucial win on Tuesday night at Petco Park. A ninth-inning blast off the bat of Tyler Stephenson put the Reds up 4-2 over the San Diego Padres and Emilio Pagán shut down the Friars' bats to seal the victory. Cincinnati will go for the series win on Wednesday night with Andrew Abbott taking the hill for the ole Redlegs.
Stephenson was the hero of the game, but during the postgame interview in the clubhouse, Reds pitcher Nick Martinez could be overheard saying, "You can’t f—ing kill us.” Based on the results from Tuesday night's game, Martinez is correct.
