The Cincinnati Reds played a game that many of the Reds players, and every last one of the Reds fans would like to forget about. The Washington Nationals blew them out of the water on Wednesday evening, scoring 16 runs between the 5th and 6th innings and putting the game well out of reach for not just the Reds, but probably the Cincinnati Bengals, too, even if they had to play the Nationals in a football game from that point forward (hat tip Matt Allaire for this gem). But there was something great that happened in the game for the Reds.
