DENVER -- The Reds' offense came alive at the right times on Tuesday night, scoring off Rockies starter Kyle Freeland early and often in a convincing 8-1 win.
In an impressive display of clutch hitting, the Reds scored four runs with two outs and two-strike counts in the first three innings. Adam Duvall opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first, Billy Hamilton plated two with a single in the second and Jose Peraza stroked a run-scoring single in the third. The Reds added a pair of two-out, two-strike runs in the eighth, when Scooter Gennett hit a pinch-hit home run.
