Will Benson tied it in the ninth inning with an RBI triple and scored on second baseman Orlando Arcia’s fielding error to give the Cincinnati Reds a 4-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday.

The Rockies had multiple heroes and they needed every one of them in their 3-2 win over the Reds on Friday night at Great American Ball Park.

Santiago Espinal led off the ninth inning with a double to left field. After a TJ Friedl was retired and Matt McLain struck out, the Rockies intentionally walked Elly De La Cruz for the third time of the night, and Austin Hays struck out to end the game.

"There's so much less certainty of the grouping near the top," said Reds director of amateur scouting, Joe Katuska said.

Facing Rockies fireball-closer Victor Vodnik in the ninth inning and trailing, 3-2, Cincinnati's Will Benson tripled off the top of the wall in left-center field. He nearly walked the Rockies off, but at least he drove in Spencer Steer, who had led off the inning with a single, to tie the contest at Great American Ball Park.

Chase Burns (0-1) started and pitched six innings for the Reds. He totaled 10 strikeouts and 95 pitches, including 63 strikes, against 25 batters. Jordan Beck started in left field and batted cleanup in the Rockies' lineup. He went 0-for-3 against Burns and was struck out twice.

As the Cincinnati Reds try to claw back into the playoffs, and with the Cleveland Guardians' tumble, they should consider trading for their All-Star outfielder.

For the first time in De La Cruz's career, he was intentionally walked three times in a single game. That was consequential in the Colorado Rockies' 3-2 victory over the Reds Friday, July 11.
