MLB Game Summary - Cincinnati at Toronto

Final Score: Cincinnati 6 - Toronto 5

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Jay Bruce hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to lift the Cincinnati Reds over the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-5, in the second contest of a three-game set at Rogers Centre.

Ken Griffey Jr. hit a two-run homer for the Reds, who snapped a two-game skid and won for just the third time in their last 10 games. Cincinnati blew a five-run lead in this one, but was still able to bounce back from a 14-1 drubbing on Tuesday.

Adam Lind and Joe Inglett each blasted two-run homers for the Blue Jays, who had a modest two-game win streak halted and lost for the eighth time in 10 contests. Alex Rios added three hits in the losing effort.

The game went to extra innings knotted at five, but Bruce drove in Norris Hopper with the sacrifice fly to left for the go-ahead run. Blue Jays reliever Brian Wolfe (0-2) hurt himself by walking Hopper and Paul Janish to start the inning before a David Ross sacrifice bunt moved Hopper to third. Bruce's fly ball came off Jesse Carlson.

Jared Burton (4-1) earned the victory in two scoreless innings in which he surrendered one hit and one walk, while striking out three.

Francisco Cordero tossed a perfect inning to register his 15th save of the campaign.

Aaron Harang yielded five runs on seven hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings in the start for the Reds, while Roy Halladay surrendered five runs on nine hits and four walks with seven strikeouts in 6 2/3 frames.

"Nice way to bounce back after we had the 5-0 lead, and then you get five runs off that guy over there, Doc Holliday," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "That's unheard of."

Griffey opened the scoring in the first inning a home run to right field. Brandon Phillips, who drew two-out walk with a check swing, also touched the plate on the 602nd career homer for Griffey.

The Reds jumped out to a 5-0 advantage in the third with three runs on four hits. Ross led off with a base hit and moved to third on a Bruce double before Adam Dunn laced an RBI single. Phillips then singled to right field for a 4-0 lead. After Griffey flied out, Dunn came around to score when Joey Votto reached on a fielder's choice.

However, Cito Gaston's club fought right back in the bottom of the frame to cut the deficit to 5-4 courtesy of a pair of two-run homers. Gregg Zaun singled and then scored on Lind's home run to left, while Inglett's homer to right brought in Marco Scutaro.

Scutaro knotted the game at 5-5 in the sixth with an RBI single that plated Lyle Overbay, who appeared to be out, but Reds catcher Ross could not come up with the throw by Dunn.

The Blue Jays loaded the bases with their first three hitters in the seventh, but Scott Rolen popped up and Overbay grounded into a double play as David Weathers escaped his own jam without any damage.

"You just can't let that happen in those situations," Overbay said. "I had a good game plan and we just have to stick to it and I didn't."
