Defense derails Lamb, Reds in Miami

Lamb was lifted before the sixth with only 88 pitches, and he finished with five innings, three runs (two earned), six hits, no walks and a career-high nine strikeouts. The first run he allowed, in the bottom of the first inning, came on a passed ball by catcher Ramon Cabrera that scored Realmuto.

Conley pitched 5 2/3 innings with two earned runs and four hits, one walk and seven strikeouts. Reliever David Phelps was working in the seventh and escaped unscathed despite allowing three hits. Brandon Phillips tried to go from first to third base on a Cabrera single, but he was nailed by center fielder Marcell Ozuna's perfect throw as he slid headfirst.
