The game belonged to the pitchers until the seventh inning broke it open. San Francisco scored three times in that frame to defeat Cincinnati 3-0, snapping a four-game losing streak in a contest that remained scoreless through six innings.
Landen Roupp earned the victory with six shutout innings, allowing just one hit while striking out six. The right-hander walked two and threw 87 pitches, carrying a 2.38 ERA into his fourth start of the season. Erik Miller closed out the ninth for his first save, striking out three in a perfect inning.
The decisive seventh began when Chapman doubled to left, scoring Arraez to break the scoreless tie. Jung Hoo Lee followed with an RBI single to left that brought Chapman home, extending the lead to 2-0. Casey Schmitt capped the rally with a single to center that scored Lee and moved Ramos to third, giving San Francisco a 3-0 advantage.
Chase Burns matched Roupp through six innings for Cincinnati, allowing two hits and striking out four over six scoreless frames. His ERA stands at 2.42. Brock Burke took the loss after surrendering all three runs in two-thirds of an inning of relief, though none were earned due to a Cincinnati error.
The victory improved San Francisco to 6-12, while Cincinnati fell to 11-7 despite entering the game with a two-game winning streak.
