THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 2012-Joey Votto hits a game-ending grand slam off the Nationals Henry Rodriguez, adding to his two solo home runs, becoming the
last Red to hit three home runs in one game, matching a club record
MLB.COM Reds lose in 17th on Posey's homer
By Chris Biderman and Michael Wagaman / Special to MLB.com | 4:21 AM ET + 93 COMMENTS
SAN FRANCISCO -- Buster Posey hit a walk-off home run on the first pitch he saw from Cincinnati reliever Robert Stephenson in
the bottom of the 17th inning, lifting the San Francisco Giants to a 3-2 win over Cincinnati on Friday night in a game that lasted
more than five hours and ended at 12:43 a.m. PT.
Denard Span homered for the second straight day and drove in two runs, Eduardo Nunez added two hits and scored, and Cory
Gearrin -- the last available reliever in the Giants bullpen -- pitched two innings for the win.
San Francisco had not scored since tying the game in the fifth and only advanced one runner past first base for eight innings before
Posey's one-out homer to left. The Giants catcher knew it immediately, too, and flipped his bat before taking off to round the bases
for San Francisco's second walk-off win of the season.
Denard Span crushes a solo home run over the right-field wall and into McCovey Cove, giving the Giants an early 1-0 lead
The home run measured 431 feet, Posey's longest of the Statcast™ era.
"Those kind of games, they're must-win," Gearrin said. "You go out there and you battle for that long, a lot of guys put a lot of time
and a lot of energy into that game, so to come out with a win is huge. To walk it off like that, with Buster going deep, just kind of
seals it for us."
Cincinnati was blanked over the final 15 innings and wasted a strong outing from its bullpen.
"To play 17 and lose, it's a lot different feeling over in the Giants clubhouse than there is in ours," Reds manager Bryan Price said.
"Both teams had an awful lot of opportunities to win that game. And no one could come up with the big hit until Posey did there in
the bottom of the 17th."
Neither starting pitcher factored into the decision despite strong outings from both. Giants right-hander Johnny Cueto gave up two
runs and had six strikeouts over eight innings while throwing a season-high 119 pitches but remained winless against his former
club. Scott Feldman of the Reds, who blanked the Giants on four hits May 2, allowed two runs in seven innings.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Missed opportunities: The Reds missed a prime scoring opportunity the top of the 14th after Scott Schebler and Scooter Gennett
opened the inning with back-to-back singles. Both runners advanced on a sacrifice before Jose Peraza hit a grounder to Giants
shortstop Brandon Crawford, who was playing in. Crawford bobbled the ball briefly then fired a strike to home plate where Posey
made a sweeping tag on Schebler for the out. A few moments later, pitcher Bryan Morris wheeled and picked off Gennett trying to
scramble back to second base. San Francisco also worked out of a base-loaded situation in the 16th and a two-on, two-out jam in the
17th.
"That pickoff worked well," Morris said. "I felt like [Gennett] was kind of asleep and Brandon felt the same way obviously, so he
just back-picked him and I was ready for it."
Small ball: San Francisco took advantage of the speed at the bottom of its lineup and the way Cincinnati was playing back on
defense to score the tying run in the fifth. Nunez laid down a picture-perfect bunt near the third-base line and Justin Ruggiano
followed with a bunt of his own almost in the same spot. Cueto then nearly reached on a sacrifice bunt before Span hit an RBI
single.
SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS
The 17 innings were the second-most played in the history of AT&T Park. The only game that lasted longer came on May 29, 2001,
when the Giants lost to Arizona, 1-0, in 18 innings.
WHAT'S NEXT
Reds: The Reds will send right-hander Lisalverto Bonilla (0-0, 7.20 ERA) to the hill Saturday to make his first Major League start
since 2014 with the Rangers. Saturday will mark his second big league stint this season after a five-inning relief appearance in
April. Bonilla had a 5.61 ERA in five starts with Triple-A Louisville and will be Cincinnati's ninth starter used in 2017. First pitch
Saturday is 4:05 ET.
Giants: Left-hander Matt Moore (1-4, 6.52 ERA) will take another stab at getting his season back on track when he faces the Reds
for the first time in his career in the third game of this series beginning at 1:05 PT. Moore has been hit hard most of the year, having
allowed five runs or more in four of his seven starts.

Hamilton, bullpen dinged up in loss to Giants
By Chris Biderman / Special to MLB.com | 5:12 AM ET + 7 COMMENTS
SAN FRANCISCO -- Reds manager Bryan Price won't have long to figure out how his roster is going to shape up after losing in 17
innings, 3-2, to the Giants in a five-hour, 28-minute marathon Friday night.
His leadoff man, Billy Hamilton, who had his eight-game hitting streak snapped with an 0-for-7 night, tweaked his calf late in the
game and is uncertain for Saturday afternoon.
"I don't if it was a cramp or strain of the calf. That's something we'll kind of define here now that the game's over," Price said. "And
we'll see. I don't know if we'll be able to write up the lineup until tomorrow."
Hamilton struck out with the bases loaded in the top of the 15th with the game knotted and looked hampered by the injury to his
right leg. He stayed in the game and was immediately tested by a deep fly ball from Justin Ruggiano in the bottom of the inning.
He scampered back to the center-field wall to make the play, but looked like he was in considerable pain as he threw the ball back
in. He stayed in the game while Cincinnati didn't have any position players left on the bench.
On the pitching front, Price used six of his eight relievers, leaving two fresh arms available when the two teams take the field again
just over 12 hours after Buster Posey ended the night with a walk-off home run to give San Francisco the win.
"There's a lot of activity today," Price said. "We'll have to come back in a few hours and be back here and get everybody kind of
warmed up again and see what they have in the tank."
The night started off looking promising for Price's bullpen with starter Scott Feldman going seven innings while allowing just two
runs. But he was matched by Giants starter Johnny Cueto, who threw eight innings of two-run ball with six strikeouts.
The two pitchers that didn't throw were Raisel Iglesias and Barrett Astin. Iglesias got the save Thursday while Astin last pitched
Monday against the Yankees when he allowed a pair of homers.
Price needed multi-inning efforts from three relievers -- Blake Wood, Austin Brice and Robert Stephenson -- and had Wandy
Peralta and Drew Storen pitch for the second straight game.
The Reds will hope to get a strong performance from Lisalverto Bonilla (0-0, 7.20 ERA), who's making his first Major League start
since 2014. He compiled a 5.61 ERA in five starts this season for Triple-A Louisville and allowed four runs in five innings of relief
during his only appearance with the Reds on April 22.

Bonilla to face Giants in first Reds start
By Chris Biderman / Special to MLB.com | May 12th, 2017 + 5 COMMENTS
The Reds will send Lisalverto Bonilla (0-0, 7.20 ERA) to the hill Saturday to make his first big league start since 2014. The Giants
will counter with Matt Moore (1-4, 6.52).
Bonilla, 26, has started five games for Triple-A Louisville, going 2-2 with a 5.61 ERA. He was called up to replace Rookie Davis,
who was sent down after allowing 18 runs (16 earned) in 19 innings in the Reds rotation. Bonilla last pitched for Cincinnati on April
22, throwing five innings of relief and allowing four runs to the Cubs. Saturday marks the start of his second big league stint this
season.
Moore, 27, has allowed 12 runs over his last two starts. His 1.55 WHIP is the highest of his career. He's never pitched against the
Reds after starting his career with the Rays in 2011. Saturday will be the third game of the four-game set at AT&T Park and the
sixth time the teams have played this month.
• Bonilla prior to 2017 last pitched in the Majors with the Texas Rangers in 2014, when he appeared in five games (three starts) and
allowed 13 hits in 20 2/3 innings with a 3.05 ERA. He spent last season in the Dodgers system before getting claimed off waivers
by Cincinnati in February.
• Moore will make his first home start since late April. His numbers are decidedly better in San Francisco, with a 3.05 ERA and
1.02 WHIP compared to 10.50 and 2.17 on the road. His last two starts came in Los Angeles (5 1/3 innings, three runs) and New
York (3 1/3 innings, nine runs).
• Bonilla will be the ninth starter the Reds have used in 36 games this season.

Feldman excited to be home for Mother's Day
Bay Area native plans to spend time with his mom, Joyce, with Reds in San Francisco
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | May 12th, 2017 + 0 COMMENTS
The baseball schedule really did Reds pitcher Scott Feldman a favor this year for Mother's Day. This weekend, Cincinnati is playing
the Giants, and Feldman is a Bay Area native who grew up nearby in Burlingame, Calif.
That means Feldman will get to spend part of Mother's Day with his mom, Joyce.
"Last year, she came out to Houston when I was there and they had all the moms throw out ceremonial first pitches. That was cool,"
Feldman said. "This year, I'll be right there where we all live. She will come to the game, probably her and my sister and my sister's
kids. I'm actually staying there Monday for the off-day. We'll probably get some dinner with all of them on Mother's Day. It works
out nice."
When Feldman was a young ballplayer, Joyce played a key role that shouldn't be overlooked.
"My Dad was more hands-on with the baseball stuff. But my Dad was working and she always took me to practice, picked me up
and took me to games," Feldman said. "She watched a lot of games, probably way more than she ever wanted to. I think she actually
enjoys watching baseball a lot more than she used to. She's very important to me."
Joyce will have the chance to see another game at AT&T Park since Feldman is scheduled to face the Giants on Friday night.

Battered by pitches, umpire departs in 14th
By Michael Wagaman / Special to MLB.com | 2:30 AM ET + 7 COMMENTS
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants and Reds game Friday night that had already surpassed the four-hour mark was delayed longer in
the top of the 14th inning when home-plate umpire Tony Randazzo was removed after being hit repeatedly throughout the game.
In the fifth inning, Randazzo was hit in the facemask near his throat on a pitch from Giants starter Johnny Cueto after Billy
Hamilton attempted to bunt but pulled back at the last second. Randazzo fell hard to the ground and was immediately tended to by
San Francisco head athletic trainer Dave Groeschner but eventually was helped to his feet and stayed in the game.
Randazzo was also hit in the right shoulder by a foul ball and later took another foul off his chest after it bounced off the dirt near
home plate.
Clint Fagan, who was umping at second base, replaced Randazzo behind the plate and the game continued with only three umpires.

No setback, but Cingrani 'pen session delayed
By Chris Biderman / Special to MLB.com | May 12th, 2017 + 13 COMMENTS
SAN FRANCISCO -- Reds reliever Tony Cingrani had his scheduled bullpen session on Friday pushed back while he continues to
recover from an oblique strain that landed him on the disabled list.
"He doesn't have any real pain. He has kind of a little bit of achiness in the oblique," manager Bryan Price said. "No setback. Just
kind of a part of the rehab."
Cincinnati placed the left-hander on the 10-day DL April 21, retroactive to April 19, after an appearance April 18 against Baltimore.
"What we do is listen to his body and we will define his next bullpen based on how he feels as he continues to play catch and as he
exercises. He has not been shut down from throwing," Price said. "We're just going to give him an extra day or two just to make
sure he's OK before he takes the mound the next time."
Cingrani last threw a 15-pitch bullpen on Tuesday. He got off to a strong start to 2017 in his five relief appearances, allowing one
earned run in 4 2/3 innings with five strikeouts.

Hamilton continues to fuel Reds' May surge
By Chris Biderman / Special to MLB.com | 5:08 AM ET + 1 COMMENT
SAN FRANCISCO -- While the starting rotation has been battered with injuries, the Reds' lineup has fueled an 8-3 start to May that
has the club in the thick of the division race with the Cardinals.
It's no coincidence Billy Hamilton, the catalyst of Cincinnati's offense, entered Friday in the midst of a season-high eight-game
hitting streak. He had also scored runs in 11 straight games, the longest streak for a Reds player in 25 years.
Both streaks were snapped with an 0-for-7 night at the plate in a 3-2 loss in 17 innings to the Giants on Friday. Hamilton appeared
gimpy after tweaking his calf late in the game. His status for Saturday afternoon was uncertain.
"He's swinging the bat as well as he has any time I can remember," manager Bryan Price said Friday with his club entering play a
half-game behind St. Louis.
Hamilton during his scoring streak hit .347 with a .407 on-base percentage. He scored 16 times while Price's team averaged more
than six runs per game. The offense made up for a starting staff that's had to shuffle through arms with the highest ERA in the
National League.
It's a far cry from Hamilton's work before the streak, when he hit .211 and scored just nine runs in his first 21 games to start the
season.
"He's hitting the ball a lot harder than he was earlier in the year," Price said. "He's driven some balls in the gap, he's hit some balls
down the line. He's battled with two strikes. He's hit a lot of balls back up the middle for base hits. Not a lot of these hits are these
soft-serve singles to left."
Hamilton in Cincinnati's 3-2 win in the series opener against the Giants on Thursday scored two runs while going 2-for-4 in the
leadoff spot.
The Reds center fielder also had a stranglehold on the league's stolen base lead with 19 entering Friday -- eight more than Arizona's
A.J. Pollock and Miami's Dee Gordon. Hamilton hasn't stolen a base since last Saturday, but that doesn't mean his presence on the
basepaths has gone unnoticed.
"It's a huge difference maker. I think we saw it yesterday," Price said Friday. "[Ty] Blach was really quick from the stretch with
Billy on base.
"There's times when I attribute that Zack [Cozart] or hitters behind Billy getting those pitches because of the pitchers being forced to
be quicker than they'd like to be, or quicker than is comfortable -- forcing or creating a higher probability of getting a pitch to hit or
a mistake."
Hamilton's career-best hitting streak is 12 dating back to June 2014. His run of 11 straight games with a run scored tied Bip Roberts'
mark in 1992.

CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Reds recap: Reds fall in 17 innings
C. Trent Rosecrans , [email protected] Published 3:48 a.m. ET May 13, 2017 | Updated 5 hours ago
SAN FRANCISCO — Buster Posey hit a walk-off home run off of Robert Stephenson in the 17th inning to give the Giants a 3-2
victory over the Reds early Saturday morning at AT&T Park.
The game ended at 12:43 Pacific time and 3:43 Eastern. The game took five hours, 28 minutes.
Here are the main storylines from Friday’s game:
• Opportunities wasted: The Reds opened the 14th with back-to-back singles by Scott Schebler and Scooter Gennett, but couldn’t
push across a run.
After a sacrifice bunt by Tucker Barnhart moved the runners over, Jose Peraza hit a grounder to shortstop Brandon Crawford.
Crawford bobbled the bal but recovered in time to throw Schebler out at the plate for the second out. With Billy Hamilton at the
plate, Giants pitcher Bryan Morris picked off Scooter Gennett from second to end the inning.
The Reds loaded the bases with two outs in the top of the 16th, but Hamilton struck out, ending the threat.
The Reds stranded 16 runners in the game, including two in the top of the 17th.
• Feldman vs. Cueto, Round 2: On Sunday, Scott Feldman and Johnny Cueto combined to pitch 16 innings and allowed four runs.
Friday night the two combined for 15 innings and four runs. While Feldman didn’t throw a shutout like he did on Sunday, he gave
up just two runs in seven innings. Cueto allowed two earned runs (just like he did Sunday) in eight innings. Neither starter factored
into the decision.
In his third start against the Reds, Cueto still hasn’t beaten his former team. The Reds beat him last year at Great American Ball
Park and again on Sunday. This was the first time the Reds have faced him at AT&T Park, where he entered the game 9-3 with a
2.86 ERA in 17 starts as a member of the Giants.
Cueto allowed just five hits, struck out six and walked three.
Feldman gave up seven hits, struck out two and walked one.
• Hitting the cutoff man: The Reds’ fundamentals were better than the Giants’ aggressiveness twice in Friday’s game.
In the fifth inning, Joey Votto cut off Schebler’s throw from right on a Denard Span RBI single and threw Span out going to second.
Giants first base coach Jose Alguacil could be seen telling Span to stay at first, but the Giants’ center fielder ignored him and was
thrown out for the second out of the inning. The next batter, Brandon Belt, grounded out to end the inning, leaving a runner at third.
With two outs in the eighth, Belt hit a double into the right-center gap. Hamilton ran the ball down and got a quick throw to
shortstop Zack Cozart, who threw to Eugenio Suaraz at third to tag Belt out for the final out of the inning.
• Home plate umpire hit: There was a scary moment in the fifth inning when home plate umpire Tony Randazzo was hit in the mask
by a pitch from Cueto. With Barnhart on second, Hamilton squared to bunt, but pulled back his bat at the last minute. Posey missed
Cueto’s pitch and it hit Randazzo in the mask. He immediately fell to the ground. After being checked by Giants trainers, Randazzo
stayed in the game, but left following the 13th inning, replaced by Clint Fagan.
Buster Posey's walk-off dooms Reds in 17th
C. Trent Rosecrans , [email protected] Published 4:59 a.m. ET May 13, 2017 | Updated 6 hours ago
SAN FRANCISCO — Giants catcher Buster Posey hit a walk-off home run off of Robert Stephenson in the bottom of the 17th
inning, giving the Giants a 3-2 victory over the Reds in Cincinnati’s longest game since 2011.
“It just sucks. I feel like I let down my team,” said Stephenson, who pitched 2 1/3 innings and had allowed only one baserunner
before Posey’s homer. “They pitched really well, played hard the entire game and for it to come down to one pitch, it's tough.”
Stephenson was the Reds sixth and final pitcher of the night, allowing the only run by a Reds reliever in 9 1/3 innings of work.
The Giants used seven relievers to throw nine shutout innings.
“Well, you play 17 and lose, it's a lot different feeling over in the Giants' clubhouse than it is in ours,” Reds manager Bryan Price
said afterward. “Both teams had an awful lot of opportunities to win that game. No one could come up with the big hit there until
Posey did in the bottom of the 17th. So, it's one of those games. There are always those moments. You can go back and look at
those moments where you're a hit away, you're a ball in play away, doing something other than trying to hit a ball out of the
ballpark. We had runners on, they had runners on, nobody was able to come up with the big hit until Posey.”
The Reds left 16 runners on base in the game and had at least one runner on in each of the eight extra frames. The Reds stranded a
total of 12 batters in extras.
Their best chance came in the 14th when Scott Schebler and Scooter Gennett led off the inning with back-to-back singles. After a
Tucker Barnhart sacrifice moved both runners over, Jose Peraza hit a grounder to Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford. Crawford
bobbled the ball but was able to compose himself in time to throw Schebler out at the plate. Then with Billy Hamilton batting,
Gennett was picked off to end the inning.
The Reds loaded the bases with two outs in the 16th, but Hamilton struck out to end the inning. And even in the 17th, Stephenson
hit a two-out single for his first big-league hit and then Giants reliever Cory Gearrin hit Eugenio Suarez, but Schebler grounded out
to first to end the threat.
Stephenson retired the first five batters he faced before giving up a single to Denard Span with two outs in the 16th but struck out
Brandon Belt to send the game to 17.
It was 12:43 a.m. in San Francisco when Posey ended the game and 3:43 a.m. in Cincinnati. It was the Reds’ longest game since
playing 19 against the Phillies on May 25, 2011.
The two teams’ bullpens were even better than the two starters, Scott Feldman and Johnny Cueto. Feldman and Cueto, meeting for
the second time this week, combined to pitch 15 innings and allow just four runs, two each. Cueto pitched eight innings, Feldman
seven.
In what should have been an opportunity for Price to rest his bullpen in anticipation of Lisalverto Bonilla’s first start of the year on
Saturday, he instead had to use all but two of his pitchers. Only Barrett Astin and Raisel Iglesias went unused.
“We saved Iglesias and Astin, they can go tomorrow,” Price said. “(Wandy) Peralta's been in two in a row, (Drew) Storen two in a
row, (Blake) Wood threw two innings, (Austin) Brice threw two innings. THere's a lot of activity today. We'll have to come back
here in a few hours and get everybody warmed up again and see what they have in the tank. There’s not going to be a lot of long
relief outside of Astin.”
He’ll also give catcher Tucker Barnhart, who caught all 17 innings, a day off. Hamilton was dealing with a calf injury, but after the
game, Price didn’t know yet if it was a cramp or something more serious. He said he’d know in several hours when the Reds
returned to AT&T Park for Saturday afternoon’s game, with the first pitch scheduled for just 12 hours and 20 minutes later.
