Notes & reviews

Reds challenged call that Lackey was safe at 2nd on attempted pickoff; call was overturned - out at 2nd Lackey wasn't paying attention at 2nd after Zobrist walked and Reds picked him off; call was changed to pickoff and caught stealing on 08-23-2017
second pitch to Zobrist hit him, but umpires ruled he did not try to avoid it; Maddon ejected by 1b umpire Conroy for arguing about the reversed call
