Back to back

As predicted earlier, Dunn did homer off of Mark Mulder. Austin Kearns homered immediately after him. Albert Pujols of the Cardinals had three home runs and so the Reds ended up losing.

Dunn's homer was the thirteenth time he was involved in back to back home runs, the fourth time with Austin Kearns. This includes the only time in Dunn's career where back to back to back home runs occurred. At the last regular season game at old Busch, Felipe Lopez homered followed by Dunn and Kearns.

Tomorrow the Reds return home to take on the Florida Marlins. Dunn has never homered at Great American Ballpark against the Marlins. Brian Moehler takes the mound for Florida. Moehler is struggling so far this year so Dunn has a good chance to put an end to this streak.
