The baseball hung in the air and refused to come down, heartening the Dodgers with his potential and teasing Reds outfielder Scooter Gennett with its availability. Gannett dove, only to watch the baseball land beyond his grasp. It was a walkoff double for Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager, a two-out game-winner in a 5-4 victory.
Seager delivered his second double of the evening, driving home Yasiel Puig, who had used his arm to maintain the deadlock an inning earlier. The walkoff allowed the team avoid the misery of a bullpen blowup and extended a Dodgers (38-25) winning streak to three games.
