PHOENIX – Anthony DeSclafani was near perfect for seven innings Saturday. One batter reached base against him in a dominant performance when few balls left the infield.
The problem?
Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed opened the third inning with a triple and scored on a sacrifice fly. In a pitcher’s duel, that’s all it took to hand the Reds a 1-0 loss at Chase Field.
