Phillies Defeat Reds 8-3 Thanks to 4 HR's

5/18/2014

The Phillies topped the Cincinnati Reds yesterday 12-1 and did not let off the gas pedal today en route to an 8-3 victory. Jimmy Rollins, Wil Nieves (back-to-back in the first), Marlon Byrd and Cody Asche all had home runs today for the Phillies. Cliff Lee (4-4) earned his first home victory of the season, going 6 & 2/3 innings and striking out 3. Tony Cingrani picked up the loss for the Reds.
Like last night, most of Cincinnati's runs came in the first inning. The Reds posted two runs that inning thanks to Brandon Phillips grounding out to score Billy Hamilton and Devin Mesoraco doubling to score Chris Heisey.

Joey Votto sat this entire series out for the Reds with a strained quad.

In addition to the three solo-jacks and Asche's 3-run bomb, Chase Utley grounded out in the fifth to score Cliff Lee. Marlon Byrd singled in the 7th to score Jimmy Rollins.

Mike Adams entered the game with one out left in the 7th inning to relieve Lee. Adams pitched the rest of the 7th and the entirety of the 8th. He allowed 1 unearned run after Ryan Ludwick scored from 3rd on an Utley fielding error. 

Antonio Bastardo finished things off pitching a scoreless ninth.

The Phillies are off tomorrow, but then head to Miami for a 3-game series against the Marlins. A.J. Burnett (2-3, 3.13) will start Tuesday against Miami's Anthony DeSclafani (1-0, 3.00), who is making only his second big-league start.
