Severino might have gone longer if he had received better defense. Tyrone Taylor fell down on a ball that he should have caught, that was ruled a double. And with the infield in, Jeff McNeil couldn't make the play on a hard-hit ball, and this one was ruled an error. The Reds scored two runs in the inning and if Taylor doesn't fall down, they don't get any and Severino throws 19 fewer pitches in the second inning.
The Reds scored two runs in the sixth inning off Jake Diekman, with the second one being particularly exasperating. The Reds had runners on the corners and pulled off a double steal, with Narvaez throwing thru to second base on a play where he should have back picked the runner on third or just not thrown the ball to any base.
