MLB: San Francisco 4, Cincinnati 3

• Tweet

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1 (UPI) -- Jay Bruce misplayed a fly ball in the ninth inning Sunday, allowing Buster Posey to score game-winning run in San Francisco's 4-3 triumph over Cincinnati.

The Giants blew a 3-2 lead in the top of the ninth when relievers Javier Lopez and Santiago Casilla (2-3) allowed the Reds to load the bases with none out and Miguel Cairo singled home the tying run.

Casilla, however, retired the next three batters without further damage, setting up the Giants' comeback.

Posey (3-for-4, two RBI) delivered a two-out double off Jose Arrendondo (4-2) and after Pablo Sandoval was intentionally walked, Pagan lofted a routine fly ball to deep right field that Bruce misjudged.

The ball sailed over his head and Posey trotted home with the game-winner, giving the National League West-leading Giants a split in their four-game series.

Todd Frazier went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer after replacing Scott Rolen at third base. Rolen left the game with back spasms.

Ryan Ludwick added three hits for the NL Central-leading Reds.
