Friedl drives in a pair and Reds rally for 3rd straight win, beating Twins 6-5
- The Cincinnati Reds came from behind to secure a 6-5 win against the Minnesota Twins in Tuesday’s game at Great American Ball Park.
- The Twins dropped to an even.500 record for the first time since May 10, while suffering through a season-high five-game skid.
- Key highlights included TJ Friedl delivering a clutch two-run double with two outs in the sixth inning, Harrison Bader’s go-ahead three-run homer, and Byron Buxton making a spectacular catch to prevent a home run before hitting his own 12th homer of the season.
- Reds starter Andrew Abbott allowed five runs but only one earned, lowering his ERA to 1.84, while Emilio Pagán earned his 17th save and Scott Barlow earned the win with 1 1/3 scoreless relief innings.
- The loss adds to the Twins' difficulties, as they have now dropped nine of their last 11 contests, while the Reds have won eight of 11, bringing them close to securing the third NL wild-card position.
