I attended this DH. It was a friday night twi-nighter. They don't have those anymore. The Reds made a nice comeback in the first game but came up a little short. It was also a potential great pitchers duel but didn't pan out that way. At the time you didn't realize you were witnessing a little history with Rose's streak. It was just starting to get a little interesting at this point.
