Braves' wild win over Reds sees historic eighth inning

With the game tied at 3-3, the Braves were first to start pouring on runs. Atlanta scored all eight of its runs in the top of the frame, and 12 overall, without hitting any home runs. 

The Braves put together five straight hits and six straight baserunners after a Jurickson Profar strikeout opened the inning. They also ran through four Cincinnati relievers, as the Reds continually failed to put out the fire. 

But Cincinnati answered in epic fashion. Down 11-3 going into bottom half of the frame, it tied the game with a succession of hits of its own, granted two three-run homers helped stack runs quickly to tie the game. 

First, the recently-acquired Ke'Bryan Hayes made his first hit with the Reds count. He crushed a pitch near the foul pole in left field. Hayes now has half as many home runs (one) since leaving the Pirates as he hit in 100 games with Pittsburgh this season (two).

Spencer Steer then capped off Cincinnati's side of the monster inning with another three-run shot, igniting the fans in attendance and knotting the score at 11-11.

An ironically scoreless ninth would then send the game into extras. 

Eventually, Atlanta sent the game-winning run home in the 10th, but all anyone could talk about following the game was what happened in one of the 10 innings played on the night.
