On the San Francisco Giants podcast with Michael Duca:

#1 The Cincinnati Reds (51-46) Will Benson slugged a bottom of the third inning three run home run which contributed to the Reds defeating the San Francisco Giants (54-42) at Great American Ballpark on Wednesday night 3-2.

#2 The loss ends the Giants seven game win streak. During the streak the Giants defeated the Colorado Rockies twice, swept the Pittsburgh Pirates in three games, and beat the Reds in the first two games of this four game series.

#3 For the Giants Blake Sabol turned on a ball for his 12th home run and pitcher Ross Stripling pitched six innings surrendering three runs. Talk about Sabol’s home run and Stripling’s outing.

#4 Giants manager Gabe Kapler said the Giants had fought to the end to try to keep the streak going but the Reds relief pitching just had enough to keep the Giants off balance and off the bases in the eighth and ninth innings.

#5 Giants hope to start a new streak with starter right hander Alex Cobb (6-2 ERA 2.82) and for the Cincinnati Reds Andrew Abbott (4-2 ERA 2.45) game is underway at the time of this recording.
