Reds Use Late Score to Top Blue Jays, 9-8
Great American Ball Park played host to some real drama.

In the 9-8 Cincinnati win over Toronto, the impact of Brent Rooker was substantial. Rooker, who is tied for 9th in the NL in runs scored with 86, went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. With the win, Cincinnati upped its record to 70-70.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With no one out, Rooker hit a fastball from Michael Kopech for a run-scoring single. The Reds, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

Rooker told a Cincinnati Daily News reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
