The Reds get 1 run in the top of the 8th but give it back in the bottom of the inning and now the Reds have scored 2 so far in the 9th to make it now 9-4 Phillies.

Final 9-4 Philly win. The Reds will try and get the series win tomorrow afternoon.

One of the very few times that they'll be on that I can watch and they lay that egg. I was hoping Harper would get up in the 8th, just to see if he could have hit that fourth one.

Well Bryce Harper gets his first hit of the season on a homerun to straight away center field and the Phillies lead 1-0 still in the bottom of the first inning.

He sure woke up last night. I'm a big Bryce Harper fan, but don't like that he decided to explode on the Reds.

Rain delay on the rubber match.

Still in a delay looking at the radar would not be surprised if this one is cancelled.

Reds.com is claiming it is the warmup right now.

Game just started back. 

Reds score 2 runs first on a double by Encarcrion-Strand. They lead 2-0. 

Montas with another fantastic start, stay healthy big man!!!

Sadek just takes being a goofball to new heights!!  Talking about Elly’s struggles:

”struggling out of the gates, striking out a lot, but you know, HE’s PITCHED HARD”

OMG!!

Reds win 4-1 on a 2nd great outing by Montas. 

Maybe I'm just misremembering, but when was the last time the Reds started out a season by winning their first two series? Feels like forever.

It was 3 years ago in the 2021 season. They started the year off winning 2 out of 3 with the Cards after losing on opening day. Then they won all 3 of the next series vs. the Pirates.
