Myers made a running backhanded grab on Andrew Vaughn’s leadoff drive, then hit the wall hard with what appeared to be his left shoulder, but held onto the ball for the out with the Reds leading 1-0.

Myers, who entered hitting .252, accounted for the Reds run with a two-out RBI double in the first.
