Reds' 3B Todd Frazier hits a three run blast in the bottom of the 8th inning to give the Reds' a dramatic 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Opening Day, Monday, April 6 at Great American Ballpark. Frazier's blast picked up reliever Kevin Gregg who surrendered the lead in the top of the 8th. Johnny Cueto started for the Reds and pitched 7 shutout innings for the Reds (and saw his chance for a win fade when Gregg gave up a two run shot to Pirates' Andrew McCutchen.) Reliever Jumbo Diaz picked up the win for the Reds in relief. Reds' Jay Bruce also homered.
