WATCH: Reds No. 1 prospect, #Dragons catcher Alfredo Duno had to be held back during the benches-clearing scuffle between Dayton and Lake County Friday night.

Duno and Dragons manager Julio Morillo, along with two Captains pitchers were ejected from the game. @WDTN

Today was the Reds’ first loss in a game decided by 1 or 2 runs this season

They started 12-0 in games decided by two or fewer runs

That’s tied with the 1987 Brewers for the best start to a season in games decided by 1 or 2 runs
