Brito, Bleday and Rodríguez Homer, Reds Score 7 Unanswered Runs to Beat Padres

  • On Wednesday, rookie Juan Brito hit his first career home run, lifting the Cincinnati Reds to a 7-3 victory over the San Diego Padres with seven unanswered runs.
  • The Cincinnati Reds called up infielder Brito from Triple-A Louisville as MLB rosters expanded from 26 to 28 players and third baseman Eugenio Suárez departed for a naturalization test in Miami.
  • JJ Bleday added a 416-foot two-run homer in the seventh inning, while Héctor Rodríguez contributed a solo shot to help the Reds clinch the three-game series against San Diego.
  • Cincinnati improved to 67-73, remaining six games behind Arizona and San Diego for the final National League wild-card spot after the win.
  • Manager Terry Francona said Brito provides defensive flexibility with Suárez absent; the Reds host the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday to open a three-game series.
