Less than a day removed from an epic bullpen meltdown and without the availability of their closer on Sunday, the Cincinnati Reds bullpen shut down the mighty Philadelphia Phillies offense and let their own batsmen do some serious climbing in a dramatic 6-4 comeback victory.
Starter Connor Overton was hit hard again, yielding 4 ER in 4.0 IP, but the Reds leaned on the combo of Fernando Cruz (2.0 IP), Kevin Herget (2.0 IP), and Ian Gibaut (1.0 IP, S) for 5.0 shutout innings, that combo walking nary a Phil and allowing just a lone hit while fanning 5.
