6 - 26 - 10 Cleveland Indians 4 at Cincinnati Reds 6 Cleveland (26 - 47), Cincinnati (42 - 33)
The Reds have now won three consecutive Ohio Cups thanks to their come from behind victory in front of a near - sellout crowd at Great American Ballpark.
Those fans did not have much to cheer about early, though, as the Indians took the lead in the 1st inning on Carlos Santana's two - out, two - run double down the right field line. After the Redlegs came back to tie the game, the Tribe got back to work in the 4th.
A Jhonny Peralta single and a Jayson Nix double put runners on second and third with nobody out. Anderson Hernandez capitalized on the situation by blooping a double near the line in left that scored a pair, giving Cleveland a 3 - 1 lead. Unfortunately for the Indians, that would be their high - water mark for the contest.
Cincinnati came roaring back with two runs in the 5th, and three more in the 6th. The key moment was when Laynce Nix, Jayson's brother, lined a RBI single to left that gave the home team the lead for good.
Trailing by three entering the 9th, the Indians pieced together a comeback that resulted in an Austin Kearns run - scoing single, but nothing more as the Tribe still fell a couple tallies short.
Justin Masterson did get the first hit by a Cleveland pitcher this season, but he probably should of focused on his pitching becuase that was not very good. He allowed six runs in five frames, and the loss that he picked up was his seventh.
