Well, that’s one way to respond to a blowout loss.
The Phillies jumped all over Luis Cessa and the Reds in a 14-3 win, scoring nine runs in the first inning off Cessa and sending 13 batters to the plate. Philadelphia tagged Cessa for 11 runs on 14 hits in just 3 IP before adding three more off the Cincinnati bullpen. The win split the four-game series in Cincinnati and gave the Phillies a record of 5-5 over their last ten games against the Reds and Miami Marlins.
Eruption
After a 45-minute rain delay, Bryson “New Puddin’ Head” Stott deposited the second pitch of the game just over the right field wall for a home run, extending his hitting streak to 15 games.
