sept 15:  Dodgers 7 Reds 5 (16 innings)

Juan Uribe hit a 2 run homer in the 16th to finally end this marathon event. With the score tied at 3 after 8, Michael Young singled with 2 outs off A Chapman to give the Dodgers the lead. The Reds had had 2 pitchers warming but when the Reds manager walked out to the mound to confer with Chapman he saw that his bullpen was bare and Chapman had to continue pitching. In the bottom of the 9th all chance of relieving Grienke was lost when Dodger pitchers also disappeared and Heisey singled in tying run. Dodgers took lead in the 15th on Crawford's rbi single. Reds tied the game in their half of the inning as Phillips singled with 2outs and kept running around the bases to score the tying run. Withrow got the save as both teams staggered off the field - dazed and confused.
