On an otherwise tough night for the Cincinnati Reds, in an otherwise tough season for Matt McLain, the second baseman managed to pull off a franchise first Saturday night (Aug. 15) against the Miami Marlins.
With his 108th consecutive errorless game, McLain broke Brandon Phillips' 12-year-old franchise record for a second baseman.
"I'm just playing second base," he said, downplaying the achievement when asked about it. "What happens out there is always a result of work. If you want a result you have to work for it. I'm just going to continue to do that."
McLain's streak dates to Aug. 11 last season.
McLain, who entered the game hitting .190, also got a big-game reprieve at the plate, delivering three hits, including a go-ahead homer in the fifth before the bullpen blew the lead in an 8-4 loss.

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson's major league-record errorless streak at the position is over at 112 games after he made an errant throw in the eighth inning against Tampa Bay on Tuesday night.
Wilson threw wide of Donovan Walton at second base. It came with the A's trailing 9-2, and the Rays scored three times in the eighth to take a 12-2 lead.
It was Wilson's first error since July 6, 2025, and the ninth in his career over 231 games.
Wilson, 24, on Sunday surpassed Mike Bordick's shortstop errorless record of 110 games. His father, Jack Wilson, played 12 years in the majors, also at shortstop.
