Spencer Steer's inside-the-park homer sparks Reds' 7-2 win over Rockies
DENVER (AP) --- Spencer Steer hit two home runs, including an inside-the-park
homer, Brady Singer gave up four hits in seven strong innings, and the
Cincinnati Reds beat the Colorado Rockies 7-2 on Friday night.
Steer and Eugenio Surez hit back-to-back homers in the sixth inning and Elly
De La Cruz had three singles and a homer for the Reds.
Singer (4-9) struck out six and gave up two runs for his fifth quality start.
De La Cruz led off with a single and Sal Stewart drove him in with a double to
give the Reds a 1-0 lead after one.
Troy Johnston tied the game on a sacrifice fly in the fifth, but Steer put the
Reds ahead 3-1 with a 404-foot, two-run shot to left.
Four pitches later, Surez sent one 415 feet to left to stretch the advantage
to 4-1.
Steer hit his inside-the-park homer in the eighth. He sent the ball to the wall
in right-center, where it took an odd bounce. The relay throw home got away
from Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman, and Steer slid in to score.
Though it didn't leave the yard in Denver, Steer's hit would have been a homer
in 24 of 30 ballparks, including Cincinnati's, per Statcast.
Rockies starter Gabriel Hughes (0-1) struck out six in 5 1/3 innings, giving up
five hits and two runs. Willi Castro was 2 for 4 with a homer.
