CINCINNATI -- Brandon Phillips has made himself a nice living foiling opponents with defensive gems at second base for the Reds. The resume reel of wow-inducing plays expanded by one Monday night against the Cubs.
It was a key one, too. With the Reds clinging to a 5-4 lead in the top of the seventh inning, the Cubs had the tying run on second base with two outs. Jorge Soler hit a grounder up the middle that zoomed past pitcher Burke Badenhop.
