The Good
–Brandon Phillips returned to the lineup, and he responded by hitting a home run and going 2-2 with a walk, two runs scored, and two RBI. He made a dumb decision to try to score and got nailed at the plate in the fifth, but two innings later, he attempted to steal third with Jay Bruce at the plate. When the ball got away from the catcher, he scored to give the Reds a 5-2 lead. Plus, he made another flashy diving stop. Good night for BP overall.
–Billy Hamilton got his first hit of the season, from the left side of the plate no less.
