When the Pirates’ third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes hit a grounder to the second base, it could have been an inning-ending double play from the Reds. But the second baseman misplayed it, and it ended up being an RBI fielder’s choice. This gameplay won the game for the Pirates in a no-hit game.
Disappointment for the Reds
Talking about the game, the Reds catcher Aramis Garcia said they were on the wrong side of history. “Bittersweet for sure. Obviously today, we were on the wrong side of history,” Garcia said to MLB.com.
