Reds closer Aroldis Chapman surrendered his first run of the season in a 2-1 loss Friday night against the Marlins. Chapman gave up a solo home run to Justin Ruggiano in the ninth inning on a 94 mph fastball.
The left-hander hadn't allowed a run over his eight previous appearances, allowing three hits and striking out 13.
It was only the seventh homer Chapman has allowed during his four seasons in the majors.
"You get so used to him being perfect, but that happens a couple of times a year," manager Dusty Baker said. "It doesn't happen very often. That guy took a good pitch to get it to 3-1. He hit a high fastball, trying to catch up to it."
