Reds' Errorless Streak Snapped by Singer, but MLB Ruling Helps

The Reds' remarkable defensive streak ended when Brady Singer's wild pickoff throws allowed two runs in the first two innings, breaking their franchise record. However, the team received a brief reprieve when MLB changed a ruling on a play involving Heriberto Hernandez. Originally scored as an error, the play was changed to a stolen base, erasing the error and extending the streak for a short period.

Despite the streak's end, the Reds' focus on clean baseball has been a key factor in their strong 8-3 start. Their exceptional fielding has been a difference-maker in close games, with outfielder-infielder Spencer Steer noting that one mistake can cost a game in such tight contests.
