Carlos Quentin loses track of outs, runs straight into double play

Carlos Quentin loses track of outs, out on double play

Let's solve a baseball math problem. Let's say it's the bottom of the first inning of, oh, a Reds-Padres game and there are zero outs. Then Chase Headley is called out on strikes. After that, Carlos Quentin doubles. Yasmani Grandal comes up to bat and pops out to Reds third baseman Todd Frazier. Question: How many outs are left in the inning?

Did you say one? Then you're not Carlos Quentin, who thought there were zero. However, the Padres outfielder and two-time All-Star came up with the correct answer just in time to run into an unassisted double play:

Quentin knocked a two-run homer later in the game, helping the Padres beat the Reds 8-2 and proving that the only math that matters is the score line at the end.
