The Cincinnati Reds made Major League Baseball history against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday.

This shouldn't be possible in an MLB game.

Rhett Lowder struggled to find answers in the Reds-Pirates game on Saturday.

Cincinnati Reds pitchers Rhett Lowder and Connor Phillips walked seven consecutive Pirates, tying a 43-year old MLB record.

The Cincinnati Reds issued a Major League Baseball record-tying seven straight walks during the second inning of a 17-7 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. It was the third time in major league history that a team had walked that many batters consecutively — and the first time in more than four decades, according to the Elias Sports Bureau and Sportradar. Pittsburgh also was at bat when Atlanta walked seven straight in the third inning on May 25, 1983.
