Farmer, Stephenson Rally Reds Past Padres 5-4 in 9th
CINCINNATI (AP) — Kyle Farmer hit a tying homer in the bottom of the ninth inning and Tyler Stephenson drove in the winning run with a two-out single to rally the Cincinnati Reds past the San Diego Padres 5-4. Farmer smashed a shot to center field with one out against closer Mark Melancon, who then loaded the bases before Stephenson lined a 1-0 pitch down the right-field line. Cincinnati salvaged the series finale and finally stopped the Padres, who had beaten the Reds six times in the past two weeks while winning 11 of 12 overall.
