Kyle Farmer tied the game with a one-out solo homer to center off closer Mark Melancon in the bottom of the ninth and rookie Tyler Stephenson won it with a two-out single to right scoring Jonathan India as the Cincinnati Reds salvaged the final game of a three-game series with a dramatic 5-4 win over the visiting San Diego Padres Thursday night.
Melancon (1-1), who took the loss, had converted 25 of 28 save chances this season and the Padres had won their past 88 games when entering the ninth inning with the lead and were 42-0 this season.
