Reds booth dubs catcher's tag miss 'middle school mistake' in Cubs loss

Chicago Cubs beat Cincinnati Reds 8-3 on May 7, 2026, at Wrigley Field to complete a four-game sweep. In the bottom of the fourth inning, with bases loaded and no outs, Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson grounded to Reds third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes. Hayes stepped on third for the first out and threw home ahead of Ian Happ, but catcher Tyler Stephenson caught the ball on the plate without tagging Happ, allowing the run after the force play ended.

Reds broadcasters John Sadak and Chris Welsh immediately criticized the miscue. "It's a tag play! He's gotta tag him!" Sadak said. Welsh replied, "No! No! Oh, this is a middle school mistake right here."

The error helped Chicago score four more runs that inning. Cincinnati, which started the season 20-11 atop the NL Central, has gone winless in May and dropped to last place after three prior walk-off losses to the Cubs. The Reds also lost seven straight to Pittsburgh last week, tying an MLB record with seven consecutive walks.

Cincinnati returns home for six games against Houston Astros and Washington Nationals.
