Facing Rockies fireball-closer Victor Vodnik in the ninth inning and trailing, 3-2, Cincinnati's Will Benson tripled off the top of the wall in left-center field. He nearly walked the Rockies off, but at least he drove in Spencer Steer, who had led off the inning with a single, to tie the contest at Great American Ball Park.

For Fraley, who previously described his injury as a partially torn labrum, it marks the return of a player who doesn't want to miss what the second half of the season could hold for the Reds. He'll continue to try to improve his ailment during the second half of the season.
