The Reds, who dropped two of three in San Francisco in May, have outscored the Giants 38-9 in winning the last four meetings in Cincinnati. The plus-29 run differential is the franchise's second largest over a four-game span at home against any opponent in the live-ball era. (Brewers +32 from 1997-98).

The Giants tallied a season-high seven doubles in a 10-7 win over Cincinnati on May 14, but have only five extra-base hits in their last five games combined. Andrew McCutchen, who leads the Giants with 41 extra-base hits, has just two in his last 10 contests while batting .121 (4-for-33).

Buster Posey, who has a .220/.291/.240 slash line in his last 13 road games, is batting .450 in the third inning this season. It is the highest average by a Giant with at least 45 plate appearances in the third inning since Willie Montanez hit .455 in 1975.

Ranking second in the NL with 88 RBI, Eugenio Suarez has accounted for 16.8 percent of Cincinnati's RBI -- that's the highest percentage by a Red since Eric Davis had 17.2 percent of the team's RBI in 1989.

The Reds' .296 winning percentage (8-19) in one-run games is the worst mark by any MLB team in one-run games since the 2008 Braves were 11-30 (.268). Only one team in Reds franchise history has had a worse winning percentage in one-run games than this year's team and that was in 1937 at .280 (14-36).

Scooter Gennett is 70-for-178 in 48 Cincinnati wins this season. That .393 average is the highest by a Red in wins since 1969, when Pete Rose hit .409 in 82 victories (138-for-337).

HP - Blakney, 1B - Bellino, 2B - Cuzzi, 3B - Hallion

The San Francisco Giants, still hanging around in the National League West race, are coming off a meaningful series against a big rival that turned out very good. But not quite good enough.
The Cincinnati Reds, out of contention almost since the first week of the season, are coming off a mostly meaningless series against a big rival that turned out very bad. One that invoked memories of their historically bad start.

Giants view series vs. Reds as starting point to stay in contention

CINCINNATI (AP)  San Francisco Giants pitcher Casey Kelly had a big fan in the Cincinnati dugout - his dad, Pat, is the Reds bench coach.
Starting two days after pitching in relief, Kelly worked into the fifth inning Friday night. The Reds eventually won, 2-1 on a leadoff home run by Phillip Ervin in the 11th inning.
