CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago White Sox 7-1. Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki might've played a role in the win.

Cincinnati had lost three-straight games prior to Thursday's victory.

Gesicki was in attendance on Thursday afternoon and threw out the ceremonial first pitch. The veteran tight end was the Reds' good luck charm.

Gesicki, 29, had 65 catches for 665 yards and two touchdowns for the Bengals last season. Cincinnati re-signed him to a three-year, $25.5 million contract before free agency started.
