 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Matt Morris hit a key two-run double in the eighth inning and pitched a three-hitter, lifting the San Francisco Giants past the Cincinnati Reds 4-1 Friday night.
Morris retired 18 straight batters to finish his second complete game of the season and 20th of his career. He ended a seven-start winless stretch with his first victory since July 14 against Philadelphia.
Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 26th home run of the season and No. 562 of his career for the wild card-leading Reds. They fell out of a virtual tie with St. Louis for first place in the NL Central.
