Reds erupt for season-high 7 runs in win over Angels

CINCINNATI — Reds left fielder Spencer Steer knew he’d hammered the changeup from Los Angeles Angels starter George Klassen, but he had little faith it’d stay fair.“It started pretty much on the line,” Steer said. “I was kind of willing that ball fair.”Steer started the Reds’ four-run first inning with a walk and made the score 5-0 with his second-inning home run, which bounced off the foul pole in left field, earning those in attendance a free Chick-fil-A sandwich coupon. Friday night, Steer hit two balls to the outfield that would’ve found the stands in the later months of the season at Great American Ball Park, only to be caught on the warning track. So you can forgive him for thinking the laser beam down the left-field line he hit off Klassen might curve foul.Advertisement
