NL Central standings prior to game. Teams included in this post (Reds and Brewers) are in BOLD

TEAM                 W   L    GB

Cardinals            43  23   —

Reds                  40  27  3.5

Pirates                 39  27    4

Brewers            27   38   15.5

Cubs                     26   38   16

Let’s start bottom 1st, Reds batting, man on 3rd and Brandon Phillips hits a nice little blooper into the outfield that drives in a run. That made it 1-0 Reds. When we resume 3-2 Reds, top 8th (Brewers batting) and MARTIN MALDANADO! solo shot over the left center wall, that ties it at 3. Same score, bottom of the 10th, no on, 1 out and Jay Bruce…That’s outta here! Walk-off HOME RUN for Bruce!
