With all due respect to the MLB trade deadline, Thursday's most ridiculous moment came in the eighth inning of the Atlanta Braves-Cincinnati Reds game.
It was a normal game for seven innings. The Reds took a 3-0 lead in the third but the Braves came back, tying the game in the sixth. Classic baseball stuff.
And then the Braves scored eight runs in the top of the eighth, opening the frame with five straight hits and notching another six straight baserunners after a Jurickson Profar strikeout. The Reds went through four relievers in that inning before Brent Suter finally ended the inning, with the game seemingly lost at 11-3.
