Turnabout is Fair Play. Phillies Crush Reds in Series Finale!

Turnabout is fair play.  Or something like that!

It took the Philadelphia Phillies all of two pitches on Sunday afternoon to take the lead and never look back.  Phillies 2B Bryson Stott put Luis Cessa’s pitch into the second row of the right center field bleachers.  With the leadoff homer, Stott extended his season starting hit streak to 16-games.  It also set the table for a 9-run first inning by the Fightins. 

The 9-run lead gave Phils’ starter Aaron Nola more than enough wiggle room heading into his start.  Nola went six innings allowing three runs, two earned, while striking out four Reds.  While he was more consistent than he has been, Nola still struggled at times.  But, when your offense comes out on fire, you have room to make some mistakes. 

Here’s a closer look at how they scored, stats and facts from the game, and what’s on deck for the Phillies.
