Pinch Homer Lifts Reds Past Braves
Lum delivered a pinch-hit three-run homer in the eighth inning off Rick Camp to lift the Cincinnati Reds to a 7-5 win over the Atlanta Braves. Lum called the pitch bad yet impactful as he beat his former teammates with a low slider homer following Concepcion's broken-bat single that tied the game. Manager Bobby Cox credited Mike Lun for a poor swing but acknowledged the big moment.
