Comedy of errors dooms Cleveland late against Reds

Well, that was a doozy.

Tonight, Cleveland found themselves with a 2-1 lead, two outs, and a ground ball inches from the glove of their first baseman.

They still lost. And that wasn’t even the worst unforced error of the game.

Josh Naylor could have sealed the game if he had turned that play — just as he did the first two plays in the inning — but he didn’t. Even then, with their closer on the mound, Cleveland had a chance to close the game out. Unfortunately, with an 0-2 count, Clase made a bad throw.
