    Jesse Winker watched Cincinnati Reds teammate Scooter Gennett take batting practice Wednesday.

    When Gennett sent a ball flying over the Clemente Wall and into the Allegheny River beyond right field at PNC Park, Winker caught himself thinking "Wow."

    Later Wednesday night, Winker crushed a home run into the last row above the right-field wall in the seventh inning, barely missing sending his own shot into the river.

    It was Winker's second in two days and proved to be the game-winner off newly acquired Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Joaquin Benoit that sent the Reds over the Pirates 5-2.
