Jedd Gyorko knocked in four runs, and Colin Rea had a wildly successful Major League debut on Tuesday as the Padres defeated the Reds, 11-6, at Petco Park.
Rea, recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A El Paso, allowed three runs in five-plus innings and recorded his first hit on his way to the victory. He struck out four, walked one and allowed seven hits.
“I think he showed incredible poise, real happy for the young man. I have known him for a while, to see him come through just the way he did — it’s a great moment,” interim manager Pat Murphy said.
The Reds got a home run and an RBI double from Todd Frazier, who had a three-hit night. Jason Bourgeois added a two-run, pinch-hit home run in the ninth inning.
