Schebler's walk-off double lifts Reds over Phils

CINCINNATI -- Scott Schebler delivered a walk-off double with the bases loaded to give the Reds a 3-2 victory over the Phillies and the first two games of the season-opening series.

Trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth against reliever Dalier Hinojosa, Eugenio Suarez hit a leadoff single and Devin Mesoraco squibbed a one-out infield hit between the mound and third base. Jay Bruce loaded the bases with an opposite-field single that rolled into left field.

Schebler, who was 0-for-3 with three strikeouts on the night entering his last plate appearance, drove Hinojosa's 2-2 pitch to the wall in left field, easily scoring Suarez and pinch-runner Tyler Holt with the go-ahead run.
