 More Reds NewsKen Griffey's three-run homer in the bottom of the 11th inning sent the Reds to a pulsating 5-4 victory over the Nationals and reminded his teammates of what they have missed. "Hopefully we can keep him healthy for the rest of the year," said starter Bronson Arroyo, who blanked the Nationals for eight innings. The Reds rallied against one of the NL's most overworked bullpens to set up Griffey's decisive swing. Felipe Lopez had a run-scoring single in the 11th off Felix Rodriguez, who then walked Edwin Encarnacion with one out and the Nationals clinging to a 4-2 lead. After a called strike from P Joey Eischen, Griffey connected on a 413-foot homer that brought his teammates to home plate to celebrate. He dropped his head, pursed his lips and raised his arms while rounding the bases for the 539th time. |
