Phillies 8, Reds 3: Walker shines, offense comes alive

Entering Friday night, not much was trending in the right direction for the Philadelphia Phillies. With three straight losses and a 4-9 record behind them, Friday night served as a chance for the Phils to get right. They did.

It did not take long for the Fightins to open the scoring, as Kyle Schwarber doubled home Trea Turner in the top of the first inning.

Taijuan Walker took the bump for the Phillies, making his third start of the 2023 campaign. Walker’s first two outings weren’t exactly impressive as he walked eight batters in nine innings. However, the former Met was much more effective Friday night as he worked a clean fist inning.
