Adam Dunn picked up his third home run of the season and walked three times as the Red defeated the Pirates 7-5. I also like the fact he's batting second in the Reds lineup. It almost looks like Narron used the lineup analysis tool to create his order. Dunn now struck out four times in five games. If he keeps up that rate, he'll cut his strikeouts by more than 60.

Update: Dunn's home run today was really a dropped ball:

Adam Dunn hit a home run that bounced off right fielder Xavier Nady's glove and into the seats. Nady thought he caught the ball and cocked to throw, only to peer into an empty glove.

"I'd like to hit every home run 500 feet, but I hit it in the air and the wind took it and it went a lot farther than I thought," Dunn said. "Strange? Yes, I've never had anything like that happen."
