Done in by Dunn

There was an interesting discussion in the Reds booth during the bottom twelfth inning vs. Atlanta. With one out, Phillips reached on an error by Wickman, bringing Adam Dunn to the plate. The broadcast noted that last year, Dunn hit a grand slam off Wickman to win a game against Cleveland. There then starts a discussion over whether Phillips should try to steal or not. The play-by-play man thought he should go. The color man thought they should let Dunn hit. As it turns out, Phillips did run as Dunn homered deep into the stand in right to win the game 9-7. So they were both right!

The Reds are doing a good job as spoilers lately. They've faced playoff contenders in their last five series and have won 10 of 16.
