PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates didn't have many chances to score in Wednesday night's 3-0 loss to the Reds, but they saw one opportunity in the seventh inning abruptly end with an interference call.
With two runners on and two outs, Gregory Polanco tapped a ground ball toward first base and ran down the line. Reds pitcher Mike Leake fielded the ball and went for the force out at first base, but his throw hit Polanco in the back.
An infield single by Polanco would have scored catcher Francisco Cervelli from second base for the Bucs' first run of the night, cutting the Reds' lead to 3-1.
