VIDEO: Tucker Barnhart Breaks Tie With 3-Run Dinger in 10th Inning Off Shane Greene
By Charles Nason
Shane Greene's early run-out for the Atlanta Braves just took a turn for the worse. After the Braves stormed back in the bottom of the ninth to tie Sunday's tilt with the Reds at three runs apiece, Tucker Barnhart took matters into his own hands and made the former Tigers closer pay.

The three-run shot was just the sixth homer of Barnhart's 2019 season. For a catcher batting just .212, Barnhart, along with the Reds, probably weren't expecting this.
Barnhart's blast was not only a game-winner, but also helped his team stave off a series loss at the hands of the Braves, securing a four-game split instead.
