At the time, it probably seemed like a bit of icing on the cake for Tommy Pham. The former St. Louis Cardinals outfielder turned around a Johan Oviedo meatball for a solo homer in the Top of the 8th inning, putting the Cincinnati Reds ahead 7-4 in a game in which they’d already found a way to dig out of an early 3-0 hole.
With this Reds bullpen, though, you just never can rest easy.
Thanks to a late 2-run blast by Juan Yepez in the Bottom of the 9th that brough the game to a mere 7-6 Reds lead, said dinger by Pham ended up being the game-winner on the day.
