The Reds 2011 season opener was a slug fest. But, just 1 game into season, the Reds did it again.
The Reds were down by 2 runs in the 9th inning, and Ramon Hernandez hit one deep which scored 2 runs and the Reds come back to defeat the Brewers, 7-6.
The Brewers took a 3 run lead in the 1st, leading off with a Rickie Weeks solo jack, then Carlos Gomez hit a homer, then Casey McGehee hit a Sac fly to score Ryan Braun.
But, the Reds half of the 1st, 2010 NL MVP, Joey Votto hit a sac fly scoring Drew Stubbs. The Reds were still down 2 runs, but at least got some momentum.
But, then in the 2nd, the Brewers answered back with a double from Rickie Weeks scoring Wil Nieves. 4-1 Brewers.
Now down 3 runs, Drew Stubbs hit a solo homer and it was back to 2.
The Brewers got their biggest lead of the game win Braun drilled a solo jack then Casey McGehee had an RBI single.
Votto would smack one in the 7th for another Reds home run and that's when the 9th inning came. It will be a inning to remember.
Jonny Gomes had a RBI sac fly, scoring Brandon Phillips and then Ramon Hernandez hit the walk off homer to send the Reds to 1-0.
It is the 1st time since 2007 the Reds have won a opening day game and the fans were wild and Dusty Baker injoyed his teams performance, and Hernandez said, "I've played 12 years, and this is the most amazing Opening Day."
The Reds will start the season a right foot in first and the Cardinals play the Padres. The Reds play on Saturday at 4:10 PT. It will be Travis Wood vs. Shaun Marcum.
