As the Cincinnati Reds sit on the brink of a 100-loss season, which has happened only once in franchise history, they held off the dubious distinction with a comeback victory in the penultimate game of the year.
Two innings after Chuckie Robinson hit a game-tying, two-run homer, rookie Spencer Steer lined a walk-off double in the top of the ninth inning to lift the Reds to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday.
It was the Reds’ seventh walk-off win of the season and the first of Steer’s career, who had his jersey ripped off in the celebration at Great American Ball Park.
