SAN FRANCISCO-It was a weird game, but in the end somebody went home happy and someone went home sad.

Todd Frazier hit his 34th home run of the season to lead off the top of the 10th inning, as the Cincinnati Reds defeated the San Francisco Giants 9-8 before 41,044, the 397th consecutive sellout at AT&T Park.

The game went into extra innings after the Giants scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie up the game.

Despite allowing those three runs in the opening frame, Chris Heston struck out the side in the first two innings on his way to striking out eight in five innings of work.

Brandon Phillips got the Reds on the board in the first inning, as he singled in Jason Bourgeois, who led off the game with a four-pitch walk against Chris Heston.

After a Todd Frazier strikeout for the second out of the inning, Ivan De Jesus, Jr., tripled to score Joey Votto and Phillips.

Buster Posey continues to swing a hot bat, as he tied the game with just one swing of the bat, when he took a John Lamb pitch and put it into the left field bleachers for his 18th home run of the season.

Jarrett Parker hit his first major league home run leading off the bottom of the fifth inning, as he hit a solo home run off of Ryan Mattheus.

The Giants added a run in the bottom of the fifth inning, as Marlon Byrd reached on a throwing error by De Jesus, Jr., and then Brandon Belt doubled down the right-field line; however he was thrown out when he went to far off of second base.

Despite playing the string, the Reds would not give up, as they scored five runs in the top of the seventh inning to take the lead for the second time on the evening.

Phillips singled in Jay Bruce, who advanced to third on a two-base throwing error that retired Bourgeois at the plate. The Bourgeois play at the plate was challenged by Bruce Bochy, and after a two minute 30 second replay, the call was reversed.

Phillips then singled in Bruce to tie up the game, and then the Reds took the lead when De Jesus walked. Ramon Cabrera extended the lead, as he hit two-run single to Phillips and Frazier.

Things got dicey in the bottom of the eighth inning, as the Giants got two on with two out and Bruce Bochy sent Madison Bumgarner up to pinch hit for Jeremy Affeldt against Reds closer Aroldis Chapman.

After going down 0-2, Bumgarner eventually drew a walk against the left-hander that included multiple pitches that topped the 100 mile per hour range.

Chapman then hit Ehire Adrianza to load the bases to score Posey. Chapman was able to regroup to strikeout Alejandro De Aza to end the threat.
