The questionable hit was a ground ball hit by Jordan Beck. Elly De La Cruz fielded the ball, but his throw drew first baseman Spencer Steer off the base. Replays show that a good throw would have been an out call. The Reds had the play reviewed, claiming Steer was on when he caught the ball. Ultimately, the call stood.

Colorado lost its sixth straight and is now 4-23 to open a season that gets darker by the day, and the proverbial “light at the end of the tunnel” seems a million miles away.

Hunter Greene responded to his worst outing with a quality start, and Austin Hays hit two go-ahead home runs for the Cincinnati Reds at Colorado.
