The deficit increased in the third inning. After Buehler (4-1) surrendered two singles to begin the frame, he induced a potential double-play grounder to shortstop Corey Seager. But Seager had his throw to second baseman Chris Taylor, who was out of his usual position in an infield shift against the left-handed-hitting Joey Votto, sail into right field. Two more Reds crossed the plate on the first of Yasiel Puig’s two hits — a two-out flare off the end of the bat on a 3-and-2 fastball that landed a few feet in front of center fielder Alex Verdugo. Verdugo chose to play the ball on a bounce to attempt to throw out the trailing runner at home instead of a risky dive to end the inning.
