The Cincinnati Reds have played 20,399 games in franchise history and covered just about everything in the rule book through 15 decades in Major League Baseball.
When Nick Senzel crossed home plate in the 10th inning Tuesday, clinching the Reds’ 6-5 walk-off victory over the Kansas City Royals, he was the first player in club history to score the game-winning run after beginning an extra inning on second base.
Joey Votto provided the game-winning hit with a double that bounced off the center-field wall, which proved to be the best elixir for a slumping bullpen. Senzel, after scoring, lifted Votto in the air as teammates threw cups of water at him.
