Overview

  • Reds ace Hunter Greene returned from a right-groin injury to deliver six scoreless innings, allowing three hits, striking out six and walking none in his first MLB start since June 3.
  • Two consecutive Phillies throwing errors in the sixth inning opened the floodgates, allowing Cincinnati to score multiple runs before Miguel Andújar’s grand slam put the game out of reach.
  • Andújar’s two-out, seventh-inning grand slam capped an 8-0 win that clinched the series finale at Great American Ball Park.
  • The victory, Cincinnati’s fourth in five games, improved the Reds to 64-58 and pulled them within 1½ games of the Mets for the third NL wild-card spot.
  • Philadelphia’s offense managed merely one run in the last 19 innings of the series, and defensive miscues have intensified scrutiny of their performance despite a comfortably paced division lead.
