Joc Pederson and Michael Conforto drove in 10th-inning runs to seal the win after Tyler Rogers made a key pickoff in the bottom of the ninth.
Coming off the first complete-game shutout of his career, Logan Webb pitched well but was burned by the long ball in hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark. The major-league leader in innings pitched , Webb waited to make his first start of the second half until the opening game of their second series, sitting out their three-game sweep in Pittsburgh in an attempt to keep him fresh down the stretch.
Austin Slater got the Giants on the board, tying the score at 1 in the third inning, with one of their most impressive home runs of the season. He smoked a 1-0 cutter from Reds starter Brandon Williamson so hard — 109.6 mph — that it hit off the smokestacks behind the right-center field seats, an estimated 442 feet away. It was the second-longest home run by a Giants player this season outside of Mexico City.
The two solo shots amounted to more home runs than the Giants had in 28 innings of baseball in their three-game sweep in Pittsburgh. While they have found a way to win, there’s no question that the power has dried up.
