Well, at least that’s over.
Cincinnati exploded for 13-runs on Saturday afternoon defeating the Philadelphia Phillies, 13-0.
Cincinnati Reds OF Wil Myers homered twice, scored four runs, and drove in five during the Reds’ offensive onslaught. In all, the Reds unloaded for 14-hits and 13-runs against Matt Straham and the Phils’ bullpen. It was so bad that INF Josh Harrison was summoned to pitch again for the Phillies. Harrison was tagged for six hits and five earned runs in the garbage time appearance.
On the other side, the Phillies mustered a mere five hits off of Reds pitching. Graham Ashcroft was serviceable for the Redlegs allowing four hits and no runs over six innings. On a bright note, Phils’ 2B Alec Bohm registered a hit to extend his hitting streak to 14-games.
