What a great game last night! There was drama, there was suspense, there were home runs, there were double plays! Even with two infield errors, we triumphed with two runs in the bottom of the 7th inning to break a 3-3 tie, and then an insurance 2-run homer from the returning Jason Heyward, just back from the Injured List.
Not only that, but the one-man wrecking crew from the night before — Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz — was shut down cold.
Our starting pitcher, James Paxton, was great over six innings (with help from two textbook 4-6-3 double plays). Then our relievers — winner Michael Grove, a remarkably efficient Blake Treinen and closer Daniel Hudson — shut down the Reds’ offense altogether.
It was just the type of game you want to see on a chilly Friday night.
