Final Score: Phillies 4, Reds 2
The Phillies cruised past the 20-game-below-.500 Reds on Monday night. Philadelphia had four runs on 12 hits and limited Cincinnati to two runs. They are continuing their hot streak against weaker competition.
Noah Syndergaard did not look sharp when he gave up two runs in the bottom of the second inning after allowing a two-out, two-run single to the Reds catcher Michael Papierski. The Phillies trailed 2-0 early.
The Phillies got those runs back and some more in the next inning, as Nick Castellanos, in his first time coming back to Cincinnati since signing with the Phillies, hit an RBI single to drive in Alec Bohm.
