Giants Play Through Ballpark Fire, Defeat Reds In Rout
CINCINNATI (CBS / AP) -- Brandon Belt hit a three-run homer, and Buster Posey added a two-run shot off Jason Marquis on Friday night, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 10-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in a game played uninterrupted while an outfield smokestack burned for an inning.
One of the two riverboat smokestacks that shoot off celebratory flames and fireworks caught fire in the top of the sixth because of a malfunctioning propane valve. Flames shot from the top of the smokestack and spewed dark smoke until firefighters extended a ladder from outside the ballpark and sprayed it.

Belt and Posey homered off Marquis (3-3), who lasted a season-low three innings while allowing a season-high six runs. Belt also had an RBI double among his three hits and scored three times.
Madison Bumgarner (4-2) gave up eight hits in seven innings, including solo homers by Zack Cozart and Billy Hamilton.
