Jose Trevino delivers a go-ahead run with a bases-loaded single in the eighth inning as the Cincinnati Reds defeat the San Diego Padres 4-3 on Tuesday night. The Reds’ late scoring proves decisive in a close game against a Padres club in the thick of the National League wild-card race.
San Diego starts the day with a narrow lead in the wild-card standings, holding a half-game advantage over Arizona for the third and final NL spot. Arizona’s game is set to be played later Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies, adding context to the playoff implications for both teams.
