Rizzo went 1-for-5 with a three-run, inside-the-park home run Wednesday against the Reds.
The first baseman drove a deep fly ball to left-center field, but did not run full speed out of the box as it looked like the ball would be caught. A near collision left Reds' outfielder Billy Hamilton injured on the ground, and Rizzo realized the ball dropped and took off full speed to come around and score. Rizzo topped out at 18.6 mph once he hit full stride and it took him 17.5 seconds to round the bases, according to Statcast. The home run was Rizzo's 19th of the season and his first career inside-the-park homer.
