Reds Game Suspended Until 5:40 Tuesday Before Regular 7:10 Game


The Reds got another quality start. This time Brandon Williamson pitched six strong innings. He only gave up four hits but two left the GABP playing field.

Austin Slater hit his fourth home run in the third inning and Wilmer Flores clocked his ninth of the season in the sixth inning.

Matt McLain got to Logan Webb for his eighth home run with two outs in the first inning. Webb is coming off a shutout of the Colorado Rockies on Sunday before the All-Star break. 

The slumping Reds had just three hits against Webb until Jonathan India launched his 14th home run to tie the game. It was India's third hit of the game. He singled in the second, doubled in the fourth.

Fernando Cruz followed Williamson to the mound for the Reds and pitched a scoreless seventh inning. When Giants manager Gabe Kapler announced Joc Pederson to pinch hit, David Bell countered with lefty Alex Young.

Young walked Pederson and Flores doubled to put runners on second and third. Young retired Michael Conforto on a one-hope ground out to Joey Votto at first as the runners held.

The grounds crew came out to put the tarp on the field with runners on second and third with one out in the top of the eighth.

The game was suspended after a 1:55 rain delay. It will resume at 5:40 Tuesday.
