The next inning the padres responded with a solo homer by Scott Hairston making it 4-3 reds, and the reds never came back with a answer from the padres scoring after that. In the ninth inning the padres secured it with a B.Giles fielder’s choice scoring S.Hairston, then a two RBI double by K.Kouzmanoff scoring both Gonzales brothers.
