Reds win last game of the season
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.
