Matt Kemp, Eugenio Suarez and Scott Schebler hit consecutive home runs in a seven-run inning, extending the Reds’ lead to 11-0 in the opener of a three-game series at Great American Ball Park. Kemp’s home run, a three-run shot, was his first as a Red.

The Reds hit back-to-back-to-back home runs for the first time since May 21, 2012, against the Atlanta Braves. It was Mike Leake, Zack Cozart and Drew Stubbs that day.
