The 1989 Reds didn’t have much to celebrate, but on August 3 against the Astros, their bats caught fire in epic fashion. Cincinnati sent 20 batters to the plate in the opening frame, the first 8 of which reached base, piling up 16 hits—including 9 straight—and 14 runs before Houston could escape. It was one of the most relentless single innings in franchise history, and a bright spot in an otherwise dreary season.
