We were just kinda goin’ on his body language,” Francona said. “That was certainly a nice feeling. You may have seen a grown man cry.”
The Reds appeared to lock up the win when Caleb Durbin hit a grounder to Elly De La Cruz, but the shortstop's throw to first base was high and sailed into the camera well for an error, allowing Durbin to reach second base.Bauers got ahead in the count 2-1 before he got the barrel on a fastball by Emilio Pagán.

“I knew it was hit well off the bat. I think it was probably when I was coming close to the warning track that I thought, I could have a chance at this,” Friedl said.
