Bizarre Way To Win A Game....

For only the 23rd time since 1920 a team has won a game with a walk-off balk, according to Elias Sports Bureau! The Cincinnati Reds defeated the Tampa Bay Rays On July 8th, 2022 when the umpire called a balk against the Rays pitcher. A controversial call that has all the arm chair umpires going back and forth on the internet! 

Oddly enough, the Cincinnati Reds have benefited twice in their franchise history from a game ending balk, the last time being in 1965 in a game against the Chicago Cubs.
