 PHILADELPHIA (AP) - David Weathers pitched out of a jam and through a rain delay to earn an old-school save. Javier Valentin hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the eighth inning, Adam Dunn added a two-run homer and Weathers got the final six outs in Cincinnati's 9-6 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night.
"It's his eighth save of more than one inning," Reds manager Jerry Narron said of Weathers. "He's like Rollie Fingers and Goose Gossage."
Phillies slugger Ryan Howard hit his 100th career homer in his 325th game, becoming the fastest player to reach that total in major league history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
