On October 9, 2012 — The Reds can’t shake off the Giants in Game 3 of the NLDS, allowing a pair of runs on a sacrifice fly in the 3rd and a passed ball and error in the 10th inning to lose, 2 – 1. The loss negates a great effort by P Homer Bailey, who allows one hit over 7 innings and strikes out 10. San Francisco gets only three hits all night. Ryan Vogelsong gives up a 1st-inning run for the Giants, but then settles down, and the bullpen is airtight as well, allowing San Francisco to hold on until they win the game in extra frames.
