The Pirates and Reds go on a homer binge at Great American Ballpark, hitting 10 long balls into the rain before the game is suspended after 6 innings with the score tied at 7. The 10 homers are the most ever hit in a single game at the ballpark, and the most in any big league game since 2006. Neil Walker and Gaby Sanchez go back-to-back twice for Pittsburgh, only the second time this has happened in team history, and Starling Marte and Travis Snider also pull the trick, making it only the third time that a team has hit three pairs of consecutive home runs in one game. When the game resumes a day later, no more homers are hit, as Pittsburgh wins, 8 – 7, with Russell Martin’s 7th-inning single driving home Andrew McCutchen for the winning run.
