Cincinnati Reds infielder Matt McLain, hitting in the No. 9 spot in the team’s lineup, doubled for the first Cincinnati hit of the game off of Los Angeles Dodgers starter Blake Snell during the top of the 3rd inning of their National League wild-card Game 1 at Dodger Stadium.
Dating back to his no-hitter against the Reds with the San Francisco Giants in 2024, Snell didn’t allow a hit by the Reds in 11 2/3 innings before McLain’s double.
