Pinch-hitter Stuart Fairchild had an inside-the-park homer that provided a key insurance run late to help left-hander Andrew Abbott win for the first time in almost a month, and the Cincinnati Reds snapped an eight-game losing streak by beating the San Francisco Giants 4-2 on Friday night. Left fielder Michael Conforto and center fielder Tyler Fitzgerald each tried to run down Fairchild's flyball to left-center off Erik Miller, but the ball caromed off the wall between them and kicked back before Fitzgerald retrieved it and hit shortstop Casey Schmitt.
