Rain pauses SF Giants’ game against Reds tied 2-2 in eighth inning
Besides the home runs, Webb had allowed only two other Reds to reach base and had completed seven innings on only 86 pitches.
The delay is the second the Giants have experienced on this summer swing through the midwest. First pitch of their game Saturday in Pittsburgh was pushed back about 40 minutes, from 7:05 p.m. local time to 7:45, because of weather. Even without play on the field, the always-entertaining Dave Flemming and Hunter Pence provided gold during the delay, delivering play-by-play of the Reds’ grounds crew’s struggles to get the tarp on the field. “Don’t get eaten by the tarp,” advised Pence moments before, wouldn’t you know, a worker bit it and had to crawl out from beneath the tarp covering the infield.
When play resumes, the Giants will have J.D. Davis stepping into the batter’s box against lefty Alex Young with the potential go-ahead runs on second and third.
