So what looks like a dominating hitting performance by the Phillie's, was really just a mental mistake by the reds trying to get that out at second base rather than going to first.

If one subscribes to the theory that a pitcher has zero to little control over a ball in play, isn't this outing largely luck and defense? He should have given up at least 3hits by now.
