Coming into Tuesday’s game, the Phillies offense had scored just nine runs in their last four games. They were scuffling. But the bats — led by Rhys Hoskins, Odubel Herrera Andrew McCutchen — exploded against Reds pitching, and the team scored 17 runs on 18 hits.

It was a much needed win for a Phillies team that had dropped three straight. They improve to 26-29 on the season, and look to win the rubber match against the Reds on Wednesday afternoon.
