The ground ball went right to Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz. In the top of the sixth inning on Saturday, the Reds were on the verge of shutting down the star-studded top of the San Diego Padres’ order for the third time in the game.
With a runner on first and no outs and the score tied, De La Cruz had a chance to turn the double play. Instead, he booted the ball for a fielding error. Instead of a bases empty, two out situation, the Padres had two runners on and the chance for their first big rally of the game.
