How one walk changed the Cincinnati Reds momentum in a win over the Pirates

When the Cincinnati Reds were trailing by five runs with two outs in the bottom of the third inning on Monday, second baseman Jonathan India fouled off a sinker on the left edge of the strike zone. With a full count, India got a piece of what would have been strike three, and then he earned a walk when the next pitch landed outside the strike zone.

Without India’s walk, shortstop Kyle Farmer doesn’t get the chance to single on the seventh pitch of his at-bat. Then Nick Castellanos wouldn’t have got the chance to knock them both in with a double.
