Michael Olt hit a solo home run off Darryl Thompson to tie the Reds.
The game was called after nine because most of the players on the trip have to fly out to Las Vegas to play the Cubs tomorrow.
Kris Negron doubled to score Billy Hamilton in the top of the ninth to put the Reds on top.
"We had a lot of good things happen, good pitching, good defense. Thompson just got the ball up," Dusty Baker said.
After Negron's double the Reds had runners on second and third with one out but Devin Mesoraco popped out to the infield and Todd Frazier grounded out to third.
"It is the perfect example of the importance of getting insurance runs," Baker said. "We will keep preaching and working. If you want to play winning baseball, you have to get those runs. If we score one of them or both, that home run doesn't mean anything."
