The Tribe took a 3-2 lead into the top of the ninth inning, and they gave the ball to closer Cody Allen, hoping he would do what he’s always done this season: close the game out with an Indians win. The first two Reds batters, Scooter Gennett and Tucker Barnhart, each hit singles to reach base. The next batter, Jose Peraza, tried to bunt the runners over, but first baseman Carlos Santana pounced on the bunted ball and threw to third to force Gennett out.
