Labor Day thrill at Great American Ball Park as Cincinnati rally three in the ninth to stun Toronto 5-4. Noelvi Marte delivered the walk-off single after a drawn-in infield, letting Friedl scamper home from 2nd. Friedl had earlier sparked the comeback with a mammoth ground-rule double, underscoring Cincinnati’s late-inning punch.

Sal Stewart debuted, starting at 1B, singling in his first big-league plate appearance and scoring, signaling the Reds’ youth pipeline has real juice. Greene worked 6.1 strong, but the shaky bullpen, including Pagan, nearly cost the win, leaving Cincinnati with a valuable, morale-boosting victory in a fractured playoff chase.
