There are few things more frustrating in baseball than seeing relief pitchers come in and walk everyone. One thing that is more frustrating, though, is a bases-loaded walk. Unfortunately, the Braves’ bullpen accomplished both last night in Cincinnati.
A turning point in the game came in the bottom of the sixth inning. The Braves had taken a 4-3 lead in the top half of the inning, but the Reds regained the lead 5-4 against starter Kevin Gausman. With a runner still on second base, Jesse Biddle entered the game and walked the next three batters (one intentionally).
