Talk about a crazy way to finish a game. The Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers played some free baseball on Tuesday night. In the bottom of the 11th inning with Yasiel Puig on first base, Reds shortstop Jose Iglesias smacked a liner to right field. Christian Yelich threw the ball to cutoff man Eric Thames, which flew past his glove. As a result, catcher Yasmani Grandal had to abandon home plate to chase the ball, and Puig came barreling home with a head-first slide, giving the Reds the 5-4 walk-off win.

Brutal loss for the Brew Crew.

The NL Central is truly a wild ride. The last-place Reds are now 5.5 games behind the first-place Brewers.

Keep an eye on this division for the remainder of the season because it's going to be a back-and-forth battle until the end.
