CINCINNATI (AP) - Adam Dunn hit Cincinnati's first grand slam of
the season, and the Reds kept Greg Maddux in the longest winless
streak of his sterling career by beating the San Diego Padres 9-5
on Wednesday.
The 42-year-old Maddux hasn't won since May 10, going 14 starts
without a victory. He was thwarted again on Wednesday with an
assist by the Padres' defense and bullpen.
Maddux left the game with a 3-2 lead in the sixth after giving
up an unearned run. Edwin Encarnacion hit the first pitch by Cla
Meredith (0-3) for a two-run homer that put the Reds ahead, dooming
Maddux to another empty outing. He's 0-5 with nine no-decisions and
a 4.54 ERA since his last victory.
