Reds Take Two of Three From Padres in Weekend Series

The Cincinnati Reds celebrated the 50th anniversary of the 1975-1976 Big Red Machine on Saturday at Great American Ball Park.

They also took two of three to the very good NL West 2nd place San Diego Padres.

The Reds won Friday 8-1, lost a close one late 6-4 on Saturday and rallied Sunday as Will Benson hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth to lift the Reds to a 3-2 victory walk off win.

The Reds fall to 44-40, 5 games back of the Cubs in the NL Central and 2 games back in the NL wild card race.  

The Reds will now begin a 2 team 6 game road trip to Boston then Philadelphia.

They will face the Red Sox in the first of three tonight with game time at 7:10pm from Fenway Park.
