**Reds Rally for Walk-Off Win Against Rockies in Thrilling Comeback**
CINCINNATI – The Cincinnati Reds snatched victory from the jaws of defeat Saturday, overcoming a late-inning deficit to defeat the Colorado Rockies 4-3 in a dramatic walk-off win at Great American Ball Park. After struggling to score runs for nearly two games, the Reds showed resilience, battling back to split the first two games of the series.
Trailing by two runs in the seventh, Noelvi Marte ignited the comeback with a solo home run. In the ninth, Spencer Steer led off with a single, followed by Will Benson’s clutch triple that tied the game. With runners on the corners, Marte hit a grounder to second, which resulted in an error, allowing Benson to score the winning run.
“It’s been slow for us to score runs, but when we show ourselves that we can continue to battle and battle and then we come back and win the game, it tells us we can build confidence in our team,” Marte said.
Manager Terry Francona lauded Marte’s performance, particularly his defensive contributions. “He’s been working so hard,” Francona said. “He doesn’t like coming out of games and I kind of like that.”
The Reds (49-47) look to secure the series victory Sunday.
