Reds beat Brewers on TJ Friedl's walk-off home run robbery

CINCINNATI — The question is absurd and has no correct answer, but what's better, a walk-off home run or a walk-off home run robbery? 'Granted, I don't have a walk-off catch, I don't know the experience with that, but I would say a walk-off home run is the (ultimate) thing you can do in a baseball game,' said Will Benson, whose first career big-league home run was a walk-off homer against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Advertisement Cincinnati Reds center fielder TJ Friedl has a pair of walk-off hits, both singles, not homers, but Tuesday he got the chance to walk off the game on defense, robbing Milwaukee Brewers pinch hitter Jake Bauers of a score-tying home run with two outs in the ninth inning in the 4-2 Reds victory. 'This is tops,' Friedl said after the victory. 'This tops my other walk-offs for sure. To end a game like that, you dream of that as an outfielder growing up and in your backyard robbing home runs.' Of course, either one will do. Tuesday's victory didn't need dramatics to make it feel significant, even if it didn't hurt. The win not only snapped the Reds' three-game losing streak but also the Brewers' eight-game winning streak. With the win, the Reds have a chance to take a series from the Brewers for the first time in 12 series. Since the start of 2023, the Brewers have won 23 of 32 games against the Reds and 30 of 41 games at Great American Ball Park since Sept. 24, 2019. Baseball seasons are long, with highs and lows, but sometimes patterns start to emerge. It's not just that the Reds have struggled to win games against the Brewers, it's how they've lost them, losing leads, costly mistakes, hard-hit balls finding gloves — just about everything that could go wrong had, and often it was against the team that's won the National League Central the last two years and made the playoffs in six of the last seven seasons. To make too much of one game is foolish, even in September, much less at the beginning of June. That said, Tuesday's win, featured a pair of opposite-field homers and a sacrifice fly to go along with Friedl's dazzling defensive play and starter Hunter Greene's pumping in strike one to all 23 batters he faced. The Reds, who still don't have a walk-off hit this year, have the fifth-most runs in baseball through the first six innings of games and the ninth fewest after the sixth inning. Advertisement Tuesday, the Reds not only took the lead in the seventh but also added on in the eighth inning with Benson's sixth home run of the season. All of that, though, was nearly lost when shortstop Elly De La Cruz made his 10th error of the season, tying him with Manny Machado of the San Diego Padres for the most in baseball. The Reds also lost Greene after five innings when he felt the hamstring that put him on the injured list earlier this year grab on the final pitches of the fifth. He is scheduled to have an MRI on Wednesday. As Caleb Durbin stood at second base after De La Cruz's attempted game-ending throw sailed well over the head of Spencer Steer at first and into the first-base camera well, it felt like another bad loss for a Reds team that started the season with a blown save on Opening Day. Too often this season, the team has managed to grab defeat from the jaws of victory. To make matters worse, Reds closer Emilio Pagán got behind Bauers 2-1 when the Brewers pinch hitter jumped on his four-seam fastball and hit it 106.2 mph with a launch angle of 26 degrees. It was, Friedl thought, about as well as you could hit a ball without its going out. Would it have gone out had Friedl's glove not gotten in the way? After seeing just one replay, Friedl said he wasn't sure, but he knew he got his glove over the wall and then felt the ball hit the webbing. It was a play the team had practiced just the day before, with outfielder coach Collin Cowgill shooting baseballs from a pitching machine for Friedl, Benson and Jake Fraley to practice catching at the wall. 'We literally worked on it yesterday,' Friedl said after Tuesday's victory. 'In 2023 when I robbed that one in center, we worked on it that day. Then it just so happens we worked on it yesterday. … Maybe we should work on it more often.' Is this the dagger? #ATOBTTR — Cincinnati Reds (@Reds) June 4, 2025 Friedl said he was so excited he initially forgot to show the ball to second base umpire Nic Lentz until he noticed Lentz staring at him. Reds manager Terry Francona, who might have said some words he wouldn't repeat in the postgame news conference while watching the flight of Bauers' ball, said he wasn't sure whether Friedl caught the ball until he saw his reaction. Advertisement 'You may have seen a grown man crying,' Francona said, referring to himself. It was the type of play that has seemed to go against the Reds so far this year. Just the day before, with the Reds trailing 3-2 in the fifth, Friedl led off the inning with a bunt single and took off to steal with Gavin Lux at the plate. With Friedl on the move, Brewers shortstop Joey Ortiz was standing next to the bag where he fielded the ball and threw on to first for a double play. Earlier this season, second baseman Matt McLain had what he thought was a go-ahead home run land just short in the ninth inning of a 3-2 loss in Milwaukee. That was the day after the Reds lost their third 1-0 game in a row with the only run scored by the Brewers unearned. 'It's still a long season, there are so many games left, but I feel like this is who we are and we can win in so many different ways,' said Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson, whose fifth-inning two-run home run tied the score at 2. 'I don't know, people will say it's a spark or whatever, but to end the game like that, it's obviously something to build off of.' Before Tuesday's game, Francona was asked whether he could tell when a team was about to go on a hot streak. 'Believe me, if there were a magical elixir, I would (get) it,' Francona said. 'I think there is a formula — normally you win a close game.' The Reds did that, and it wouldn't be the first time a Friedl walk-off sparked them. His first career walk-off came April 24, 2023, against the Texas Rangers. That not only snapped a six-game losing streak, but it was the first of a five-game winning streak, including a sweep of the Rangers, who would go on to win the World Series. In June of that same season, the Reds had back-to-back walk-off wins against the Dodgers, the second won on Benson's walk-off homer. The Reds would lose the next two games but then go on a 12-game winning streak. Advertisement Nobody is saying this Reds team will repeat that. To do that, they'd have to hope McLain started turning it around with a seventh-inning double that set up Connor Joe's go-ahead sacrifice fly. A good MRI on Greene's hamstring Wednesday wouldn't hurt, nor would another stellar outing by Andrew Abbott, who allowed just two earned runs over six starts in May, to take the team's first series from the Brewers since May 2022. 'It's reaffirming to realize that we can win those close games, we don't have to go out and score seven or eight runs and make all the spectacular plays,' Pagán said. 'Yes, we ended it with one tonight, but there's enough talent in here to just play baseball and go win games.'

WFPD Chief, suspended officer testify in arbitration

WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — The City of Wichita Falls and a former officer with the Wichita Falls Police Department now await the decision of an independent examiner after an arbitration hearing concluded on Tuesday, June 3, 2025. Ralph Ryan Piper, 50, of Wichita Falls, was placed on indefinite suspension in September 2023 by the Wichita Falls Police Department for violating the department's code of conduct. Piper's suspension stems from May 2023, when he allegedly accessed case files after being ordered not to be involved with any ongoing investigations, then allegedly lied about accessing those case files when asked by his superiors. Piper has denied ever accessing the case since the allegations were brought against him. PREVIOUS STORY: Arbitration underway for suspended WFPD officer Arbitration began on Monday, June 2, 2025, and continued on Tuesday, June 3, beginning at around 9 a.m., in the conference room of the City Manager's office, located on the third floor of the First Wichita Building, known as Big Blue, in downtown Wichita Falls. Diego Peña, an independent third-party mediator based in Arlington, oversaw the hearing. Julia Vasquez, Deputy City Attorney for Wichita Falls, is representing the city and the WFPD during arbitration. Lance Wyatt is representing Piper. Vasquez, on behalf of the City of Wichita Falls, called WFPD Lt. Sam Coltrain as a witness. Lt. Coltrain testified that he conducted an in-depth audit of Piper's activity on WFPD's Record Management System. According to Lt. Coltrain's audit, which was admitted into evidence, between 8:55 a.m. and 9:03 a.m. on May 5, 2023, Piper was searching for cases he was assigned to work on disposing of old evidence for, dated back to 2005. Lt. Coltrain testified that at 9:04 a.m. on May 5, 2023, a search from Piper's RMS account for 'Piper' was logged. Then, in rapid succession, Piper's RMS account also searched for 'Michael Piper,' 'Ralph Michael Piper', and the address for Piper's family roofing business, located on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. Lt. Coltrain testified that he's not aware of any time the RMS audit log has ever created random entries on its own, and that the only way another officer could have searched for a case using Piper's account was if Piper allowed that person to sit at his computer. He testified that Piper denied ever searching for the case. During cross-examination, Wyatt asked Lt. Coltrain if another employee could have accessed Piper's computer if he had walked away from his desk to take a phone call and left his machine open and logged in. Lt. Coltrain testified that it would be possible. Lt. Coltrain also testified that after the searches were done on Piper's computer for keywords related to his father's case, there was no more RMS activity until 9:44 a.m., seeming to support the defense theory that Piper was away from his desk for an extended amount of time. READ MORE: WFPD officer acquitted of theft charges On redirect examination from Vasquez, Lt. Coltrain testified that the only explanation he can see regarding the case files searched for on Piper's RMS account is that Piper himself searched for the case files. 'I don't know why any other officer would jeopardize their career to set someone up,' Lt. Coltrain testified. The next witness called on behalf of the City of Wichita Falls was the Chief of Police for the Wichita Falls Police Department, Manuel Borrego. He testified that he's served as the Chief since 2012, but has been with the department for over 40 years. Chief Borrego testified that when Piper was reinstated, he instructed Piper not to be involved with any active investigations because he'd been added to the Brady List by the Wichita County District Attorney's Office and the city prosecutor. Chief Borrego testified that after Piper was acquitted of his criminal charges, he had to bring him back to work, but it was difficult to find a place for him due to his Brady complications. He testified that if Piper hadn't been subject to a Brady notice, his return to the WFPD would've been handled very differently. 'I've got to bring justice to these victims, and I can't jeopardize that with the D.A. not taking a case because Piper was involved,' Chief Borrego testified. 'I told him specifically he'd never see the inside of a police vehicle and he'd never ride a police motorcycle again because he'd been Brady'ed.' Chief Borrego testified that there were no open administrative investigations regarding Piper before his first suspension, and he wasn't aware of any other issues with Piper prior to the situation for which he's currently suspended. Chief Borrego testified that after he was notified that Piper was accused of accessing a case involving his family business and that he'd lied to superiors about the case, he asked Lt. Joseph Puddu, who testified yesterday, to conduct an internal investigation. According to Chief Borrego's testimony, Piper checking the RMS case file for the burglary at his family's roofing business isn't directly what led to his indefinite suspension. 'Officer Piper must've felt that based on his actions, he was going to be terminated, so he lied about it,' Chief Borrego testified. 'What got him fired wasn't just that he disobeyed a direct order, but that he lied about it.' Chief Borrego testified that following Lt. Puddu's investigation, a probable cause hearing was held in September 2023, in which Piper didn't offer any alternative explanations as to why his credentials were used to access the case file, adding that Piper continued to deny that he ever accessed the case in the RMS. 'He had multiple opportunities to be truthful about what happened in this,' Chief Borrego testified. 'He accessed it, he refused to be truthful about it, so I made a determination that I couldn't use him anywhere else. I'd lost faith in him as far as if I could trust him.' According to Chief Borrego's testimony, had Piper just admitted to searching for the case files, he might not have been suspended at all, and while he might have been subject to discipline, he would still have a job today. Chief Borrego testified that if the independent arbitrator rules in Piper's favor, and he's reinstated to the WFPD, he doesn't know what he'd do with Piper, but suggested that he might transfer him to a different department entirely, if he's legally able to. 'We brought him back, we put him in a position, and he chose not to follow the rules that were imposed on him, and because of that, I don't know what else I can do with him,' Chief Borrego testified. Following Chief Borrego's testimony, Vasquez rested the city's case. Wyatt, on Piper's behalf, called a single witness for its case against the City of Wichita Falls: Ralph Ryan Piper himself. Piper testified that he began working with the WFPD in 2002 and continued to do so until 2016, when he was indefinitely suspended due to criminal charges that were pending against him. Piper testified that when he was reinstated following his acquittal in 2023, he was informed that the Wichita County District Attorney's Office would drop any case in which Piper had to be certified as a witness due to his Brady notice, so he began disposing of unnecessary evidence on old cases, including old photos and videos on closed cases. Piper testified that on the day in question, May 5, 2023, he received a phone call at 9:02 a.m., then left his desk to handle it, because it involved his family business, and that he was away from his desk for several minutes. Piper maintained that he never accessed the case involving the burglary of his father's business, and that he tried to show Lt. Puddu his phone records during the internal investigation, but that Lt. Puddu seemed uninterested in what evidence Piper might have. 'I have not been untruthful at any point,' Piper testified. According to Piper's testimony, he believed that because of the Wichita County District Attorney, it was clear that other local officials felt that he was an issue and that they didn't want him back with the police department, so he figured he was already gone. Piper then testified that he believed that Sgt. Spragins, who testified on Monday, June 2, and conducted the initial audit into Piper's RMS activity, had something to do with the case files being accessed from his computer. 'It sounds horrible and it sounds ridiculous, but I have no better explanation,' Piper testified. 'In my heart of hearts, do I know that Spragins had something to do with this? I do.' Piper then testified that he believed Sgt. Spragins despised him and that he had a close relationship with the Wichita County District Attorney. He referred to the District Attorney as the 'king of the castle,' adding that he knew that he wanted Piper gone. 'I exercised my Fifth Amendment Right and I got put on a Brady List because the D.A. didn't get his way,' Piper testified. Piper then became visibly emotional, with tears in his eyes and his voice breaking as he told Wyatt, 'All I want to do is be a cop.' After the defense rested its case and Sgt. Spragins and Chief Borrego were called as rebuttal witnesses for the City of Wichita Falls, the arbitration hearing concluded at around 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday, June 3, 2025. After an off-the-record discussion between both attorneys regarding the post-briefing schedule, Peña went back on the record, notifying both parties that the record of the arbitration hearing will take about two weeks for the reporter to prepare. Peña told both parties that after the record is complete, both advocates will receive the record and will be able to write a brief, which will be submitted to the arbitrator. A post-hearing brief will be submitted by both sides. According to Peña, he will return a decision roughly 30 days after receiving both post-hearing briefs from Vasquez and Wyatt. He provided a rough estimate of late August or early September, when he expects to return his decision, but informed both parties that it may come before then. Before all parties left the conference room, Peña told them that his decision would be based on the arbitration hearing and the evidence provided during it.
