PHILADELPHIA – At the end of a seven-game road trip, the Cincinnati Reds had a lot of things working against them.
Nick Castellanos and manager David Bell were ejected in the first inning after Castellanos disagreed with a called third strike. Jesse Winker, who missed the last two games with low back tightness, exited in the third inning with an apparent injury. Starting pitcher Sonny Gray lasted only 4 2/3 innings.
It didn’t stop them from winning a series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Jonathan India carried the offense early and Reds pitchers escaped a few jams in a 7-4 victory at Citizens Bank Park.
