Reds Win Squeaker, 5-4, Over Twins
|
The 4-RBI night of pinch hitter Amancio Minau helped the Cincinnati Reds triumph, 5-4, over the Minnesota Twins. Cincinnati reliever Art Metz picked up the win, raising his record to 1-0. Sergio Dotel was tagged with the loss. Today's win puts Cincinnati at 52-72, while Minnesota falls to 69-54.
The game came to a dramatic end. In the bottom of the ninth, with Cincinnati trailing 4-1, Minau hit a fastball from Sergio Dotel for a grand slam home run, giving the Reds the walk-off win.
"We couldn't have scripted it any better," Minau said in his postgame press conference.
