By Sports Network
Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Brandon Phillips drove in three runs and Homer Bailey pitched six shutout innings, as the Cincinnati Reds closed the 2009 season with a 6-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates at Great American Ball Park.
Drew Stubbs went 3-for-4 with a pair of runs scored and Joey Votto added three hits for the Reds (78-84), who finished the campaign with their ninth straight losing season, their longest stretch of futility since an 11-year run from 1945-55.
