Phillies beat Reds; improve their 1 run games record to 14-3

PHILADELPHIA -- Cameron Rupp hadn't taken a shot this hard since his days playing high school football in Texas.

Tyler Goeddel threw out Eugenio Suarez with Rupp holding onto the ball following a violent collision to end the game and the Philadelphia Phillies held on to beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-3 on Saturday night.

"I sacrificed," said Rupp, who wasn't aware of an abrasion on top of his forehead. "I don't how I caught it."

Rupp played middle linebacker and fullback at Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas.
