Keppinger records game-winning hit: Jeff Keppinger hit a run-scoring double with one out in the 11th inning Tuesday night, sending the Reds to a 4-3 victory. Jay Bruce started the winning rally with a one-out single off right-hander Bryan Corey (1-3). Keppinger worked the count full before doubling into the left-field corner for Cincinnati's 10th walkoff win, most in the majors. Keppinger knew that if he made another out, he'd drop to 0-for-6 on the night. "It definitely crossed my mind," Keppinger said. "I knew he didn't want to walk me. I knew he would throw a strike, because he didn't want to put the winning run in scoring position. I figured it would be an off-speed pitch." (Updated 07/23/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Keppinger has just two hits in his last 14 plate appearances, but has hit safely in six og seven games. Keppinger is kind of a poor man's Placido Polanco. He makes great contact and hardly ever strikes out, but he doesn't have much power. Still, as an everyday player, he remains just as useful as Polanco in Fantasy. (Updated 07/23/2008).
