Phillips, who was the only Reds' regular starter that avoided the disabled list, finished the season with 98 RBIs. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brandon_Phillips/566742 566742 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 8:20:02 EDT kffl.com 48 days 12 hours 4 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brandon_Phillips/566742 Brandon Phillips went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored, and three RBI in the Reds' 6-0 win over the Pirates on Sunday.

Our View: Phillips ended up coming just short of 100 RBI for the season, as he will finish at 98. He ended up having a very nice season, with 20 homers and 25 stolen bases. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brandon_Phillips/565248 565248 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:52:01 EDT fanball.com 49 days 3 hours 32 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brandon_Phillips/565248 He fell two RBIs short in his bid to record 100 for the first time, but it's been a scintillating season for the second baseman. He was one of just three second baseman to attain 20/20 status -- Phillips had 20 homers and 25 steals -- in what was his third straight 20/20 campaign. He also improved his batting average from last year by 15 points, to .276, and scored 77 runs. It was a great all-around season for the 28-year-old, and he remains a top-flight option for next year. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brandon_Phillips/565226 565226 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:44:24 EDT mlb.com 49 days 3 hours 40 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brandon_Phillips/565226 Brandon Phillips doubled twice and drove in three runs against the Pirates on Sunday.

The second baseman proved to be OK and there was no thought of resting him on Thursday. "Wild horses couldn't keep him out. He's on a mission trying to accomplish his goal," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. The way Phillips is playing lately, reaching 100 should be doable over the final nine games. He has hit safely in 13 of his past 14 games while batting .364 (20-for-55). http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brandon_Phillips/546092 546092 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 18:08:16 EDT mlb.com 59 days 2 hours 16 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brandon_Phillips/546092 News: Cincinnati 2B Brandon Phillips increased his RBI total to 95 on the season Thursday in a 4-1 win over the Pirates.
