CINCINNATI, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Bobby Abreu and Brandon Duckworth spoiled the Cincinnati Reds' final game at Cinergy Field Sunday, lifting the Philadelphia Phillies to a 4-3 victory.
Abreu went two for four with a run scored and an RBI, extending his hitting streak to 16 games. The right fielder also stole two bases, bringing his season total to 29.
Duckworth (7-9) scattered seven hits over seven innings, allowing two runs. The righthander walked one and struck out six.
Jose Mesa pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings to set a team record with his 44th save. Mesa also recorded saves in both ends of Saturday's day-night doubleheader.
Jose Rijo (5-4) allowed three runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings. When he left as part of a double switch with Barry Larkin, the Cincinnati fans gave a standing ovation to two heroes of the 1990 World Series champions.
The game was followed by a closing ceremony for the stadium, which included the transfer of home plate to the Reds' new stadium. Cincinnati will open the Great American Ball Park next season.
