Cincinnati Reds first baseman Spencer Steer gave his team a potential scoring opportunity in the bottom of the 5th inning of Tuesday's series opener against the Chicago White Sox with a leadoff double.

Steer moved to third on Gavin Lux's sacrifice, but couldn't score the Reds' first run of the game against the White Sox, 3-17 on the road this season, despite the fact that pitcher Jonathan Cannon slipped while fielding a chopper from Matt McLain. Steer retreated for third instead of heading home, and was thrown out at third by Cannon.
