Reds turn to Nick Martinez in series finale vs. Giants

On Opening Day, the San Francisco Giants rallied to defeat the Cincinnati Reds 6-4 at Great American Ball Park, with the game updated at 7:39 PM EDT on March 27, 2025.
The Giants entered the ninth inning trailing 3-2 after Cincinnati stretched their lead through three innings and Heliot Ramos hit a two-run homer in the fourth, cutting the Reds' lead to 3-2.
In the ninth inning, Jung Hoo Lee's walk and Matt Chapman's single started a rally, Patrick Bailey delivered a clutch RBI single to tie the score, and then Wilmer Flores blasted a three-run home run off Reds closer Ian Gibaut into the left-field bleachers, giving the Giants a 6-3 lead.
Giants manager Bob Melvin noted Flores is a clutch player, saying, "He's usually better when there's more money on the line" and "He's always been a clutch guy," while Logan Webb stated, "In 2023, Wilmer was our best player, by far."
Despite the Opening Day win and a strong spring training where the Giants excelled in every facet of the game, Buster Posey now has a 1-0 record as president of baseball operations, and the team believes they can make the playoffs, the team acknowledges that one game does not make a season.

An overturned call and a pitch clock violation, each of which had instant ramifications. A behind-the-back catch. And Gold Glove defense by a third baseman with five of them to his name. In the end, the Giants (2-1) ended Sunday’s matinee at Great American Ball Park with a 6-3 win over the Reds (1-2)…
