Perez Late Inning Heroics Wasted
The Cincinnati Reds saw a 2-1 lead evaporate in the bottom of the 9th in San Diego Saturday night. The game was tied at 1 run apiece heading into the top of the 9th win Reds first baseman Tony Perez launched a go-ahead solo home run into the left field grand stand to make the game 2-1. Clay Kirby headed to the mound in the bottom half trying to hold down that lead. After hitting a batter, Kirby retired the next two hitters putting the Reds one out away from a 4-1 record. After giving up a single the Reds brought in Will McEnaney who promptly gave up back to back singles to Fred Kendall and Glen Beckert to tie and lose the ballgame. The Reds and Padres will square off again tomorrow afternoon in San Diego for the rubber match of the series.
