Atomic RoadRunners | Andrew Flynn’s High-Energy Fantasy Baseball

The Reds scored all of their runs with two outs, three driven in by Brandon Phillips, and Cincinnati capitalized on a Washington error to rally for a 5-3 victory over the Nationals. “Two-out hitting is something we haven’t done much of lately — or earlier,” Phillips said. Jeff Keppinger was walked intentionally to load the bases in the seventh inning, and after Ken Griffey Jr. popped up, Phillips lined Luis Ayala’s first pitch down the right-field line for a two-run single. “I was just trying to come through,” Phillips said. “I got a pitch I could drive. I didn’t get all of it, but it had good placement.” Phillips finished 3-for-4 with one run Thursday. He extended his hitting streak to seven games. Phillips is 14-for-25 (.560) with one homer and nine RBI in that span. Phillips was having a hard time at the plate through the first few weeks of June, but seems to have regained his form. Phillips remains one of the elite Fantasy options at second base. He does it all from hit for power to stealing bases. (CBS Sports)
