Badenhop's impressive homerless streak ends

CHICAGO -- Reds reliever Burke Badenhop came into Tuesday's game vs. the Cubs having not allowed a home run for 49 2/3 innings, which was the fourth-longest active streak in the Majors. The only two homers Badenhop had given up all season were on back-to-back days, April 20-21.

Rookie Kyle Schwarber ended that streak at an inopportune time for the Reds in a 5-4 loss at Wrigley Field. In the bottom of the seventh, Schwarber hit a 3-2 changeup for a two-run homer to left-center field for Chicago's game-winner.

"I think he made a good adjustment with the pitch and I didn't make a good adjustment throwing a different pitch," Badenhop said.
