Anthony, Davis Power Cincinnati

National League

Eric Anthony and Eric Davis hit consecutive homers in the 12th inning Tuesday night, giving the Cincinnati Reds a 3-2 victory over Los Angeles in Cincinnati shortly after the Dodgers learned Brett Butler has cancer.

Raul Mondesi’s sacrifice fly off Marcus Moore (3-2) had put the Dodgers ahead in the top of the 12th, but Todd Worrell (0-1) had his first major failure.

Anthony hit a 3-1 pitch into the upper deck in right field to tie it, the first homer and the second run this season off Worrell. Davis, who hit grand slams in each of his last two games, followed with a homer to right-center on a 2-1 pitch.
