The next batter, Jeimer Caldelario, hit his team-leading 12th home run of the season to give the Reds a 5-1 lead. In the sixth, Jonathan India led off the inning by getting hit by a pitch.

With the bases still loaded, Diaz walked in a run and then Jackson Chourio singled on a line drive to right fielder Will Benson to bring in a run, but Benson threw a laser to Tyler Stephenson to nail the would-be tying run at the plate.
