CINCINNATI (AP) — Todd Frazier hit an early solo homer and a grand slam with two outs in the 13th inning Wednesday night, powering the Cincinnati Reds to a rain-delayed 8-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers.
The Reds twice rallied from one-run deficits in the late innings, turning it into the longest game this season for both teams.
Ian Krol (1-0) escaped a two-on threat in the 12th inning and stayed in the game. Skip Schumaker opened the 13th with a single and Billy Hamilton walked. Joakim Soria took over and gave up a single by Brandon Phillips that loaded the bases with one out.
Frazier connected for his fourth homer in two days, ending it at 1:20 a.m. local time.
Burke Badenhop (1-2) retired the side in the 13th.
Jay Bruce had a career-high five hits — the first Reds player do so so since Willy Tavares in 2009.
