Jose Barrero lined a walk-off RBI single off Seranthony Domínguez, and the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 1-0 on Wednesday.
Albert Almora Jr. helped set up Barrero’s winning hit with a one-out walk. Almora advanced to second when Alejo Lopez singled for his third hit, and then hustled home when Barrero hit a grounder back up the middle.
It was the first run allowed by Dominguez since July 10, snapping a string of 11 consecutive scoreless appearances.
Rookie left-hander Nick Lodolo struck out eight in a career-high seven innings for Cincinnati, allowing five hits. Alexis Díaz got six outs for the win.
Reds first baseman Joey Votto announced after the win that he will have season-ending surgery Friday to repair a torn left rotator cuff. The 38-year-old Votto, a six-time All-Star and 2010 NL MVP, hit just .205 this season with 11 homers and 41 RBIs. The Phillies did take two of three in the series but wasted a stellar performance by Ranger Suárez in the finale.
The 26-year-old Suárez allowed three hits, struck out eight and walked two.
