Reds Become MLB’s First Team To Be Eliminated From Postseason Without Scoring

It’s always fun to make history, right?

Well, unless you’re on the wrong side of it.

Such was the case for the Cincinnati Reds during their 5-0 National League Wild Card loss to the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.

Cincinnati didn’t score in Games 1 or 2 — something that has never been done in Major League postseason baseball.

#Braves held Reds scoreless for all 22 innings in the series, an MLB postseason record.

Yikes.

To make matters worse, the Reds were eliminated from playoff contention as the Braves move on to the NL Division Series.
