To Nick Vincent’s credit, he didn’t prolong the agony. Phillip Ervin sent Vincent’s second pitch in the bottom of the 11th inning over the right field fence, and the walk-off home run handed the Phillies yet another loss that they couldn’t afford.
Both starting pitchers performed well. Through the fifth inning, the Phillies could only score one run against Sonny Gray, and the Reds were held scoreless by Jason Vargas. But in the bottom of the sixth, Jose Iglesias once again hurt the Phillies.
