A Run, Finally

The Reds and Braves played the longest scoreless game in post-season history, Atlanta winning 1-0 in the bottom of the 13th inning. Freddy Freeman drove in the winning run with a one-out single. It was just the sixth hit of the game for the Braves, as the Reds could not turn their eleven hits into a run.

Both starters went deep, with Trevor Bauer getting the nod for the better pitched game. He allowed just two hits in 7 2/3 innings, striking out 12. Max Fried lasted seven innings, giving up six hits and striking out five. There were no walks issued until the bottom of the ninth, and only two hits went for extra bases.

The runner on second base to start the inning is not happening in the post season.
