One Sentence Summary: Sal Stewart and the Reds offense demolished Phillies pitching in this 9-4 loss.
What It Means: The Phillies had won six straight series, every series since Don Mattingly was named interim manager, before dropping this series, fairly easily, to the Reds. The Guardians come to town next in what's looking to be a soggy Memorial Day weekend.
What Happened: Aaron Nola gave up four runs on eight hits over five long innings. Relievers Tim Mayza and Jose Alvarado both gave up a pair of runs in their innings of work. The Phillies' offense had six hits and went 1 for 4 with runners in scoring position. Alec Bohm and Edmundo Sosa hit home runs in the sixth to get the Phillies to within a run, making it 5-4, Reds. But Orion Kerkering gave up a two-run double to Nathaniel Lowe in the top of the seventh to again widen the margin. Stewart was 4 for 5 with a ninth inning two-run home run off Alvarado.
