The Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves made postseason history Wednesday — but not exactly the type they had hoped for in their first playoff game of 2020.
The Braves took Game 1 of their NL wild-card series 1-0 after almost five hours of baseball a record 12 scoreless innings. While some other bits of history were made in what began as a pitching duel between Trevor Bauer and Max Fried, the larger piece of history was this: This was the first time ever an MLB playoff game was 0-0 through 12 innings.
The Braves finally got on the board in the 13th inning when Nick Markakis and Austin Riley had consecutive singles off Archie Bradley to start the inning.
