Balfour Twice
With the Brewers and Reds tied at one in the bottom of the twelfth, Grant Balfour takes the mound for Milwaukee and walks the first two batters. The bases are loaded on a failed fielder's choice on a sacrifice, then Valentin singles home the winning run for a 2-1 Reds victory. Balfour continues to live up to his name as he's walked 4 in 2 2/3 innings for the season, and 42 in 70 2/3 innings for his career. Those were the first two walks issued by Milwaukee pitching all night. The staff had struck out nine up to that point.

Yeah, "Balfour" has got to be one of the worst names for a pitcher. It'd be like if a hitter were named Jeff Strikout.
