Non-roster infielder Jerry Gil has just hit a three-run home run to give the Reds a 3-0 lead over the Minnesota Twins at Ed Smith Stadium.
Juan Castro had led off the inning with a sharp single to right, and two batters later, Joey Votto laced a single into left-center field. Gil then lofted a high fly ball to right that got some help from a generous gust of wind. It carried the ball just over the fence near the right field foul pole at the 340 foot mark.
The Twins have been held scoreless so far by Matt Belisle and Josh Fogg, each who went two innings, and Kent Mercker who pitched the fifth. David Weathers has come in to pitch the sixth inning.
