CINCINNATI, Oh. (WMDJ) — The Cincinnati Reds rallied twice Tuesday night to defeat the Athletics, 5-4, in the opening game of their three-game series.

Cincinnati trailed 3-0 before Elly De La Cruz delivered a two-run single in the fifth inning. Sal Stewart followed with a sacrifice fly to tie the game.

The Athletics regained the lead in the seventh when a throwing error by De La Cruz allowed Henry Bolte to score. The Reds answered in the eighth without recording a hit. De La Cruz scored the tying run on a wild pitch before another wild pitch brought Stewart home with the go-ahead run.

Brady Singer allowed three runs on five hits while striking out six over six innings. Julian Garcia earned the victory, and Emilio Pagán worked around two ninth-inning singles to record his 12th save.

The Reds will host the Athletics again Wednesday at 6:40 p.m. Pregame coverage begins at 6:10 p.m. on WMDJ FM 100.1.
