GAME OF THE DAY
Mark Reynolds hit a three-run homer off infielder Josh Wilson with two out in the 18th inning, sending the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 9-6 win over the San Diego Padres on Sunday in the longest major league game this season.
“It’s tough because No. 1, he’s a position player and you don’t want him to get you out, and No. 2, you don’t know what he’s going to throw,” Reynolds said.
The Padres were held hitless through nine extra innings by four relievers.
San Diego used all its relievers and had starter Chad Gaudin -- the loser in Friday night’s series opener -- pitch the 16th and 17th innings before turning to Wilson in the 18th.
