An Amazing Inning

In yesterday’s game between the Reds and the Blue Jays, David Weathers of the Reds threw just 6 pitches in the bottom of the 7th inning. That’s an amazing feat (but not unheard of) just on its own, but what’s even more amazing is what happened in those 6 pitches. Three Blue Jays reached base on 3 hits to load the bases with nobody out. Then Weathers pitched out of the jam retiring the side without any runs scoring. He got Scott Rolen to pop out on the infield and Lyle Overbay to hit into a rare 1-2-3 double play. Only 1 pitch reached catcher David Ross’s mitt the entire inning. Overbay took a ball before hitting into the double play. (link)
