Reds Rally in Ninth to Beat Rockies 4-3 in Walk-Off Win

The Cincinnati Reds secured a dramatic 4-3 walk-off victory over the struggling Colorado Rockies, with Will Benson tying the game in the ninth inning via an RBI triple and scoring the winning run on a fielding error by Rockies second baseman Orlando Arcia. The Reds overcame a 3-1 deficit, fueled by Noelvi Marte's seventh-inning home run and key late-inning hits from Spencer Steer and pinch-hitter Jake Fraley. Emilio Pagan closed out the game, escaping a bases-loaded jam in the ninth to earn the win. Despite strong performances from Rockies rookies Ryan Ritter, who hit his first career home run, and Yanquiel Fernandez, the Rockies fell short, continuing their difficult season with only their third potential series win at risk. The Reds' win ensured they entered the All-Star Break with a winning record and maintained their streak of not being swept in any series this season, nearing a franchise record. Brady Singer pitched 6 1/3 innings with nine strikeouts but was spared a loss by the late rally, while Rockies starter Victor Vodnik faltered in the ninth inning.
