CINCINNATI (AP) - Alex Gonzalez took advantage of his second chance to be a hero in extra innings. A day after he failed to break an extra-inning tie, Gonzalez hit a run-scoring single in the 12th to give the Cincinnati Reds a 1-0 win over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday.
"Today I got the opportunity again and made it," Gonzalez said. "It is special."
The teams played 23 innings in fewer than 24 hours. The Indians won 8-6 in 11 innings Saturday night, and in that game, Gonzalez was robbed of his chance to break a 6-6 tie in the 10th. Indians outfielder Franklin Gutierrez crashed the right field wall to snare Gonzalez's deep fly ball that could have won the game.
