And here I thought Nava could only go downhill after his first AB!
I am going to keep saying that they should not have kept Nava because it is apparently good luck for him.
First career multi-homer game for Nava.
Odubel pulls one down the first base line, standup double, 1 on, none out.
Every swing had a giant uppercut. Seems to be a thing going around baseball these days as guys with modest power are retooling their swings to hit more HRs.
Trade him now while his value is up.
Franco grounds to short, 'runner won't advance', say Reds PBP guy, Odubel takes 3rd on the throw to 1st, Votto doesn't even attempt to throw to 3rd.
Saunders K's swinging at ball in dirt, runner still on 3rd, 2 outs.
Knapp up, 2-2 pitch is in the dirt and gets away, Odubel scores, Rookie Rookie Davis doesn't cover home as catcher was trying to appeal that Knapp swung. 4-1 Us.
30 plus pitches for Rookie Rookie Davis this inning.
Knapp walks, 1 on, 2 outs.
Yes, LA commented on how Davis "became a spectator" as that play evolved.
Stassi pops up to short, mid 3rd, Phils 4, Reds 1.
Bottom 3rd
Rookie Rookie Davis doubles to base of LF wall. As a pitcher, he's a good hitter.
I can live with that, as long as he's not too good a pitcher!
Hamilton pops to shallow right, ball dropped by Cesar attempting an over the shoulder catch, 2 on, none out.
Cesar gets an error.
Peraza grounds to sliding Galvis in the hole, they get Hamilton but Peraza just beats the relay, runners on the corners 1 out. Nearly a great DP.
Votto grounds into 3-6 DP, with first out at 1st and tag at 2nd. The run doesn't score, I guess...??
Top 4th
Wandy Peralta, lefty into pitch. 4-1 Phils.
If the first out is a forceout at 1B, then the force is no longer in play at 2B. The run scores if the runner tags home before the out is made (tag play) at 2B. Judgment call by the umpires.
