CINCINNATI (AP) -- Brandon
Phillips -- the last man standing in Cincinnati's season of unending
injuries -- drove in three runs, and Homer Bailey shut out Pittsburgh
for six innings on Sunday, setting up a 6-0 victory as the NL Central's
two more forlorn franchises ended the season together.
The Pirates finished their 17th straight losing season, while the Reds ended their ninth in a row.
Phillips was the Reds' only regular starting player who avoided the
disabled list throughout the season. He had an RBI double in the first
off Jeff Karstens (4-6), a run-scoring groundout and another RBI double.
