There is a simple way to sum up the Cincinnati Reds’ 7-0 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
The Diamondbacks hit three homers. The Reds didn't have a runner touch third base until there were two outs in the ninth inning.
Following a rain delay that lasted one hour and 40 minutes, it was a quiet night for a Reds offense that totaled 21 runs in their first two games against Arizona at Great American Ball Park. The Reds totaled five hits, but one incredible catch by center fielder Alek Thomas cost them two runs.
Joey Votto was robbed of a two-run homer in the first inning by Thomas, who sprinted to the wall, timed his jump and made a leaping catch with his outstretched arm past the wall to make the highlight grab. This wasn’t one of those catches in front of the wall where everyone thinks the ball would’ve landed in the seats. Thomas reached past the wall and brought it back.
