PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Patrick Kivlehan had the game of his life in front of a large cheering section not far from home.
Kivlehan hit two solo homers, Adam Duvall hit a pair of two-run shots and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-4 on Sunday.
Scott Schebler also homered for the Reds and Scott Feldman (4-4) allowed four runs and eight hits in five innings.
Kivlehan grew up a fan of David Wright and the New York Mets only 90 minutes away in Lyndhurst, New Jersey. He said about 25 family and friends were in the stands to watch him get a rare start.
