Left-hander Aroldis Chapman has gone from unhittable to questionable.
Chapman took the loss Tuesday, giving up a two-run walk-off home run to Asdrubal Cabrera in a 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Cleveland Indians. The Reds had taken a 2-1 lead in the top of the 10th when Chris Heisey scored on a wild pitch.
"The game goes from jubilation to a down in one swing," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "He got behind on (Shin-Soo) Choo 3-1 and he got behind on Cabrera 3-1. They're sitting straight fastball. That's a tough one to lose."
In his last six outings, Chapman has three blown saves and three losses.
Chapman retired the first hitter on one pitch. Lonnie Chisenhall flied to right. Choo worked the count to 3-1 before singling to right.
Cabrera took two balls, and Chapman threw a 96 mph fastball to get the count to 2-1. But Chapman missed with another fastball, and Cabrera then hit one out the opposite way to right.
Chapman was passed over for a save chance Sunday because he had pitched two straight days.
Tuesday's appearance marked the first time in 31 outings that Chapman did not strike out a batter.
