CINCINNATI –
“Stevo was going to hit next, but Trevi is one of our better guys at getting to velocity,\" Francona said.\n\nOn a full count against Morejon, Trevino lined a 99.8 mph sinker into center field that scored the go-ahead run in a 4-3 Reds win over San Diego. The teams split the first two games of the series with the rubber game scheduled for Wednesday.
“I just felt comfortable in general that Tito trusts me in that situation, and then my teammates too,\" Trevino said. \"You look in the dugout and see guys like, ‘Let’s go, let’s go!’ Right now, obviously September, it’s tough so you just got to find confidence. I found it in my teammates.”\n\nOpening the bottom of the eighth inning against Morejon in a 2-2 game, Elly De La Cruz drew a walk. Sal Stewart then lined a single to right-center field to put runners on the corners. With one out, Matt McLain was intentionally walked to load the bases for Trevino. \n\nAfter Trevino delivered, the newly recalled Juan Brito fouled off back-to-back full-count pitches and then sent a sacrifice fly to left field that brought home Stewart for a two-run lead.\n\n“It was a really good at-bat,\" Francona said of Brito.
Here are three more takeaways from the game:\n\n**1\\. Quality start for Lodolo**\n\nIn one of his better starts since returning from the injured list with a blister last month,
A Fernando Tatis Jr. solo homer to right field put San Diego ahead, 2-1, in the top of the fifth inning. \n\nAlready having thrown 90 pitches on a steamy night, Lodolo helped the bullpen by returning for the top of the sixth inning. He retired the side in order while needing just 10 more pitches to finish his night.\n\n“That’s huge, man,\" Trevino said. \"He’s been putting in a ton of work since coming back from the IL. For him to have a good night tonight — obviously a couple of hits there and the homer — I thought he threw the ball well.”\n\n**2\\. Mey comes through**\n\nSince being recalled on Aug. 5 for his third big league stint of the season, reliever
**3\\. Pagán keeps it rolling**\n\nCloser
