Score and situation: The Cincinnati Reds jumped out to a 1-0 series lead with a resilient 5-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park. Leading lads: With Johnny Cueto lost early to back spasms , scheduled Game 3 starter Mat Latos volunteered to take the ball and turned in a fantastic four-inning relief outing, holding the Giants to a Buster Posey solo homer. Sam Lecure wasn't too bad either, tossing an inning and two-thirds scoreless to bridge the gap to Latos. Offensively, Brandon Phillips launched a two-run homer to open the scoring in the third and added an RBI single in the ninth. Head hangers: Matt Cain was on the receiving end of those two home runs and saw his postseason streak of innings without an earned run allowed end at 23 and two-thirds. The top three hitters in San Francisco's order — Angel Pagan, Marco Scutaro and Pablo Sandoval — went a combined 2 for 14.
