Phillip Ervin had a nice day at the plate (though it wasn’t so nice in other aspects), going 2-for-4 with a double and a triple and scoring the only Reds run of the game on a sacrifice fly by Eugenio Suarez in the top of the ninth inning. However, Ervin should have had two runs on the game, and the second one should’ve tied up the game.
He hit the first of back-to-back doubles with one out in the fourth inning. Joey Votto followed with a laser off the wall in right field. Ervin, however, got a bad read on the ball and did not realize it was going to be a hit until it was too late to score.
