CINCINNATI — Weather could have delayed the beginning of Tuesday night time’s sport, but it surely actually didn’t delay the bats on both facet at Great American Ball Park. After ready out the rain for an hour and 11 minutes, the Giants and Reds traded blows practically each inning earlier than a three-run high of the seventh put San Francisco on high for good, because the membership got here away with an 11-10 win for its seventh straight victory.

“This is something that we know about this team, it’s a pretty selfless group,” supervisor Gabe Kapler stated. “They’re going to do anything it takes to win a baseball game. … There are a couple of ways we could have played that. But more than anything, our players were prepared for every big moment today.”

Leading the way in which for San Francisco was Wilmer Flores, who hit two residence runs and completed 2-for-3 with a stroll, a sacrifice fly, 5 RBIs and three runs scored.

Flores entered the collection in Cincinnati nonetheless trying to find his first residence run in July. But with two doubles and a homer on Monday and two residence runs on Tuesday, Flores is the primary Giant with eight whole bases in back-to-back video games since Barry Bonds on April 2-3, 2002.

After the rain delay, Flores wasted little time earlier than placing the Giants forward. He pulled a 1-0 cutter to left area for a 404-foot homer, giving them a 1-0 lead with two outs within the first inning.

Flores’ second homer got here in his subsequent at-bat, however he did a bit extra injury with this one. Brett Wisley walked and Casey Schmitt singled to steer off the third inning, then Flores’ homer introduced them residence with two outs. He tied the sport at 4-4 after the Reds hit a two-run homer in each the underside of the primary and second innings.

“I’m feeling good. I’m swinging at the right pitches,” Flores stated of his current success previous to the sport.

“It was a typical slugfest. Our boys were hot, their boys were hitting, and it was just a great game to watch from the bullpen,” stated nearer Camilo Doval.

Though Flores’ sixth-inning sacrifice fly tied the sport at 8-8, he wasn’t a part of the eventual go-ahead rally within the seventh. The Giants put two on with one out in opposition to Buck Farmer, and the Reds introduced in Tony Santillan to face Wisely, who walked to load the bases.

Schmitt was up with the bases loaded and two outs. He labored a 3-0 depend, and Santillan fought again to make it a full depend. Schmitt took a slider within the dust and yelled out towards the Giants’ dugout in celebration.

“I like when players celebrate walks, because it means they’re caring about the right things,” Kapler stated. “And [Schmitt is] so intense. You might see a few of that depth come out in that second.

“Brett Wisely additionally had some good at-bats as we speak, drew some huge walks. Both of these guys noticed some pitches, however particularly, I believe Wisely obtained to 2 strikes a pair instances, obtained fairly grindy and was capable of full these at-bats effectively and end with a stroll.”

Five hours after locking down the save on 13 pitches within the continuation of Monday night’s game, a 4-2 Giants win, Doval entered in the bottom of the ninth and held the Reds scoreless to earn his MLB-leading thirtieth save.

“They asked me what my availability was for the second game,” Doval stated. “I asked them, ‘Well, how many pitches did I throw in the first one?’ They told me [13 pitches], so, ‘Let’s go. I’m ready.’ I’ve never done that before, so I just wanted to have a record for myself.”

With runners on first and second, Spencer Steer grounded a ball to Wisely, who stepped on second base and made an off-balance throw to attempt to catch the runner at first. Flores, who’d performed hero all sport, scooped the low throw to seal the win.
