SAN DIEGO (AP) — Clayton Richard carried a shutout into the ninth inning and the San Diego Padres beat the slumping Reds 6-2 last night.
One out from going the distance, Richard was removed after pinch-hitter Tucker Barnhart’s two-run double. The left-hander allowed eight hits while striking out six and walking two.
Franchy Cordero homered twice for the Padres.
Brandon Maurer got the final out for his 11th save, handing Cincinnati its fifth straight loss.
