Brandon Phillips tripled in the tying run and Joey Votto singled in the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth inning as the Cincinnati Reds edged the San Francisco Giants, 7-6, on Thursday.
Phillips finished 4-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBIs and Scott Rolen drove in his team-leading 43rd run for the Reds, who earned a split of the four-game series.
The Giants carried a 6-4 lead into the eighth and called on right-hander Guillermo Mota to get the ball to the closer. Mota (0-2) didn’t have it in him on this day however, as he allowed a leadoff single to Roberto Hernandez and a double to Chris Heisey before Phillips tied it up with a two-run triple.
Laynce Nix lined out for the first out but Votto came up next and pushed Phillips across with a single to center.
The late rally took rookie right-hander Mike Leake off the hook. The 21-year-old was in line for his first major league loss after allowing five runs on 11 hits and four walks in 4 1/3 innings.
Arthur Rhodes (2-1) earned the win with 1 2/3 scoreless frames of relief.
Aubrey Huff and Aaron Rowand homered for the Giants, who squandered a 4-0 lead in the contest.
