Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz committed his league-leading 20th error of the season on a routine ground ball during the sixth inning of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and it cost his team dearly.
With two outs and the bases loaded, a grounder off the bat of Dodgers' outfielder Andy Pages rolled right between De La Cruz's legs and into left field. The miscue allowed Los Angeles to plate two additional runs and increase their lead to 5-0.
This is nothing new for De La Cruz. His defensive mistakes have become so commonplace this season that fans on social media have given him the nickname Error De La Cruz.
