Reds announcers Thom Brennaman and Jeff Brantley got an unexpected visitor in the TV booth.

During the sixth inning of Sunday’s game, a bird, perhaps a morning dove, perched itself on Brennaman’s chair and seemingly refused to leave.

The bird began to be called, affectionately, “Rally Bird” on social media due to a mini-rally by the Reds as they scored three runs in the sixth to cut the Colorado Rockies’ lead down to two.
