CINCINNATI (AP) — Relief pitcher Michael Lorenzen lined a game-ending, pinch-hit double in the ninth inning to help the Reds snap the Arizona Diamondbacks’ five-game winning streak with a 4-3 victory.
Lorenzen is the first Cincinnati pitcher with a walk-off hit since Randy Keisler in the 14th inning against Washington on May 24, 2005.
Four days earlier, Lorenzen became the first player since Babe Ruth in 1921 to homer, play the outfield and earn a victory on the mound in the same game.
