He drove in Josh VanMeter from second base with a grounder up the middle off Jake McGee (0-2) and celebrated by clapping his hands twice as he rounded first base.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cGetting away helped me watch the game and learn,\u201d Barnhart said. \u201cI want to keep this going. It feels really good to contribute after being away for a long time. I don\u2019t ever want to get injured, but I learned a lot by watching different hitters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Lucas Sims (2-1) pitched 1 1-3 innings for the win. Amir Garrett and Michael Lorenzen each pitched an inning and Raisel Iglesias gave up a pair of two-out singles in the ninth before getting Ian Desmond to ground out for his second save in two days and 19th of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Reds bullpen pitched a combined 8 1-3 scoreless innings while Cincinnati was winning the last two games of the three-game series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Rockies went 1 for 13 with runners in scoring position on Sunday and a combined 1 for 20 in their last two games while finishing their season-high 10-game road trip with three wins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe\u2019ve got to get the big hits,\u201d manager Bud Black. \u201cWe\u2019re getting guys out there. We had a number of opportunities with two outs. We had guys in scoring position. We just couldn\u2019t get the big hit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Yonder Alonso hit a two-run homer, his first for Colorado after being promoted on July 23 from Triple-A Albuquerque, to make it 2-all in the fifth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThese were hard-fought, grinding games where every pitch mattered,\u201d said Alonso, Cincinnati\u2019s 2008 No. 1 draft pick. \u201cWe just fell a little short.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Alonso was the last batter faced by left-hander Alex Wood, who lasted 4 2-3 innings in his first start for Cincinnati after spending the season on the injured list with lower back problems. Wood, acquired with outfielders Matt Kemp and Yasiel Puig from the Dodgers in December, allowed seven hits and two runs with one walk and four strikeouts in an 80-pitch effort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI\u2019ve been around these guys a lot and they all welcomed me, but there is a big difference being able to contribute,\u201d Wood said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt was great to see him out there healthy,\u201d manager David Bell said. \u201cHe had reached his last batter, anyway. Alonso was going to be his last hitter. He wanted to stay in. I decided to stick with the decision because it was his first time back. The home run doesn\u2019t take away from what he did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Consecutive one-out singles by Josh VanMeter, Scooter Gennett, Jose Iglesias and Barnhart off Peter Lambert added up to a 2-0 Reds lead in the second. The Reds had six hits and two runs with one walk and four strikeouts in Lambert\u2019s five innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">DANCE MOVE<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Reds 2B Scooter Gennett drifted into right field to make an over-the-shoulder catch of Nolan Arenado\u2019s seventh-inning popup and narrowly avoided a collision with Puig, ending up with his arms around Puig\u2019s neck and being twirled clockwise for a turn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">YOU\u2019RE DONE<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Reds CF Nick Senzel was ejected by plate umpire Bill Miller for arguing balls and strikes after striking out to end the fourth inning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">REDS MOVES<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Besides activating Wood before the game, the Reds reinstated C-INF Kyle Farmer from the seven-day concussion list, optioned RHP Sal Romano to Triple-A Louisville and designated for assignment C Ryan Lavarnway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">THROWBACK SUNDAY<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">As part of the franchise\u2019s celebration of the 150th anniversary of baseball\u2019s first all-professional team, the Reds wore replicas of their 1967 uniforms, the 10th in a series of 15 throwback outfits the team is wearing this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">ROCKIES MOVES<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Rockies announced during the game that 1B Mark Reynolds and RHP Seunghwan Oh had been released. Reynolds was designated for assignment on July 21, Oh was designated for assignment on July 23.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">TRAINER\u2019S ROOM<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Rockies: Nick Senzel banged Rockies C Chris Iannetta on the left side of his helmet with the backswing on strike three in the fourth inning. Senzel quickly turned to check on Iannetta, who stayed in the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">UP NEXT<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Rockies: RHP Jon Gray (9-7) in 3-1 with a 3.92 ERA in eight career starts at Coors Field against the Dodgers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Reds: RHP Sonny Gray (5-6) allowed five hits and one run with two walks and seven strikeouts in his last start against Pittsburgh on May 27. The Reds won 8-1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">More AP MLB: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP%E2%80%94Sports\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP\u2014Sports<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/barnhart-rbi-single-leads-reds-to-3-2-win-over-rockies\/?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chi Chi Gonzalez throws against the Cincinnati Reds during the first inning of a baseball game, Saturday, July 27, 2019, in Cincinnati.
