Brandon Phillips gets an out with cool, behind-the-back play image

Brandon Phillips has been known to make a behind-the-back toss to get an out, but the one the Reds' second baseman pulled off Monday against the Cubs might've been the most impressive.

With shortstop Eugenio Suarez on the move to cover the bag, it was more akin to an alley-oop in basketball. Ho-hum, Mr. Phillips.
