Buckle up, friends! This is going to be rough.
The first inning brought the sloppiest defense ever, and a wild pitch put the Reds on board in the first.

Another run came in in the top of the third for the Reds. With runners on first and second, Jake Fraley slapped a sharp grounder that deflected off of Andrew Vaughn at first, and despite a great recovery and throw from Zach Remillard, Fraley busted it down the line for an infield single; however, Flexen was unable to catch Remillard’s throw, and with Christian Encarnacion-Strand not breaking stride around third base, a run scored.
