The Good
–With the game tied in the bottom of ninth, Zack Cozart led off with a walk. Brandon Phillips followed with a single. Adam Duvall struck out, but Scott Schebler followed with another single. Third base coach Billy Hatcher held Cozart at third, so bases were loaded for Eugenio Suarez.
Suarez hit a hard grounder up the middle…
…and this one belongs to the Reds!

–Billy Hamilton was 2-4 with a walk and three stolen bases. More on Billy below.
–Scott Schebler had three hits and an RBI. Suarez had two hits and a walk. BP had a couple of hits, as well.
–Outstanding pitching all the way around for the ol’ Redlegs tonight. Anthony DeSclafani allowed just two runs on six hits in seven innings. Michael Lorenzen and Raisel Iglesias followed up with a scoreless inning each.
The Bad
–Adam Duvall was 0-4 with two strikeouts; he also left six runners on base.
–The Reds loaded the bases in each of the last three innings. Fortunately, they scored in the bottom of the ninth, so this is just an interesting footnote to an exciting win.
Not-So-Random Thoughts
–Losing streak over. Reds are now in the midst of a one-game winning streak.
–Anthony DeSclafani is good.
–Michael Lorenzen is good.
–Raisel Iglesias is good.
Nice walkoff hit for Eugenio Suarez. They should schedule a bobblehead game for him sometime.

Only times in his career that a runner has stolen 3 bases in a game vs Yadier Molina:
8/9/2016 – Billy Hamilton
9/2/2016 – Billy Hamilton— Joel Luckhaupt (@jluckhaupt) September 3, 2016
Billy Hamilton's 13 SB vs Molina are the most for a runner vs a catcher in a season since Vince Coleman had 19 vs Lance Parrish in 1987.
