Keppinger’s double sends Reds to 4-3 win in 11
CINCINNATI (AP) — The first eight times that Jake Peavy pitched against Cincinnati, the San Diego Padres ended the game with a celebration. An against-the-odds grounder and a check-swing single ended the trend.
Jeff Keppinger hit a run-scoring double with one out in the 11th inning Tuesday night, sending the Reds to a 4-3 victory that finally put a dent in Peavy’s perfect career against Cincinnati.
‘‘I felt real good all night and made pitches all night,’’ said Peavy, who gave up three runs in a wild sixth inning. ‘‘We get out of that inning, and we go home happy.’’
All the smiles were on Cincinnati’s side for the first time.
Jay Bruce started the winning rally with a one-out single off right-hander Bryan Corey (1-3), who gave up Aaron Miles’ game-ending grand slam in his last appearance Sunday in St. Louis. Keppinger worked the count full before doubling into the left-field corner for Cincinnati’s 10th walkoff win, most in the majors.
