Adam Dunn Has An Odd Sense Of Timing

Adam Dunn has the reputation of a home run hitter, which usually leads to a lot of RBIs. He's getting the home runs this year, but the RBIs from those long balls? Not so much. Adam Kilgore took a look at Dunn's statistics, which at this point, are a bit of an anomaly.

But his homers have come at crucial times - 11 of them have also either tied the score or put the Nationals ahead.
