Brandon Phillips was back in the lineup for the Cincinnati Reds after a stomach bug had kept him out for a pair of games, and he wasted little time in getting back in on the action. BP homered in his first PA, added his patented defensive prowess back to the equation, stole a base, walked, drove in two, and scored twice as part of a splendid all-around evening, precisely the kind of turn-back-the-clock night the Reds must be hoping for every night.
