reds were up 3-0 into the 8th, riedling pitched really well and got a no decision. the braves tied it in the 8th and in the 10th they had the bases loaded with 1 out. gabe white got robert fick to K and javy lopez to pop out. adam dunn then stepped to the plate in the 11th with the bases loaded, pinch hit, hits a grand slam for his league leading 18th HR and 37-40th RBI. heredia given a 4 run lead promptly comes in and allows 3 runs and with 2 outs and andruw jones, the go ahead run at the plate, K's andruw for a 7-6 reds win in 11 innings. tommorow jimmy haynes returns to the rotation following a huge reds win. GO REDS!!!

wow, now that's an exciting Memorial Day holiday game.

Not to mention a grand slam to help win it.

Dunn's had a great year, but will he do a Brady Anderson?

Remember Brady of the Orioles? Was a lead off batter, then one year, came out of nowhere to hit 50+ homers, then got a fat contract, and disappeared.

Jinx, knock on wood.

I definitely think Dunn will not do the same thing. He has been improving since his rookie season and will be a star player for many years in the MLB.

That was a very good game to watch, and hopefully they continue to beat them as I am a Mets fan and I love to hate the Braves. It is ironic though, how one of our best pitchers, came from the Braves.

I guess I have some skills picking the correct "Guess The Score" game :)

Welcome to the site, SportsCards. While the game was great to watch (as a Mets fan too), it was also scary to see how many runs the Braves got and how close the game came at the end. For Guillen to miss the ball in left field is inexcusable. Something I know we're both used to seeing more often for a Mets outfielder in the past few seasons than to occur to another team.

I see a bright future ahead for Austin Kearns and Adam Dunn, both have amazing power. All they need to do is stay away from injuries if it's possible!

I agree but it's hard to have a career injury-free. You just want to stay clear from those nagging injuries that can take you out for the season--like their center fielder!

I totally agree. I hate when a great player looks so promising and then they suffer a terrible injury. A case in point is Josh Hamilton in the Devil Rays system. Now he's having "personal problems". That's got to suck, IMO, and I hate when guys with that amount of potential fall victim to something like that. I'm sure many agree.

Tim

who's Josh Hamilton? I've never even heard of him -- how did he become great?

Josh Hamilton plays outfield for the Devil Rays, or rather he is a prospect-ion-progress to play one. I don't think he played in that many big league games yet. His etopps card tanked and I got out soon after the word got out that he was out of baseball for personal problems.

plunge -- thanks

you can't be a great player if you haven't proven yourself.

Everyone's so quick to label this person and that person as superstars, when they are just average players.

if you follow basketball, you'll see that Wally Szerbiack of the Timberwolves is just an average player, and not a superstar.

He's proven that in the last 3 play-offs years, where's he's disappeared under the pressure of the opposing team's defense

I don't follow basketball but I'll keep this player in mind if I consider investing in his etopps card.
