| This game almost reminds me of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series in a way. Not down to the letter, but almost eerie. The Reds lead throughout, getting 6 runs off of Rodrigo Lopez and with Homer Bailey stymying the Phillies hold a 6-0 lead entering the 8th inning. The Phils finally get to the tiring Bailey in the 8th when Jimmy Rollins singles and Shane Victorion knocks him home on a triple for the first Phillie run. Ryan Howard singles to keep the rally going, and Bailey gives way to Francisco Cordero. Cordero sucks the joint out for the second time in three games when Jayson Werth gets hold of the first pitch and knocks it over the wall. Suddenly, 6-4 Reds lead. With two out in the 9th and the bases empty, Shane Victorino walks and Chase Utley knocks Vic home and himself when he smokes one over the wall for a sudden 6-all tie. Comeback is complete. But it doesn't last, as the Reds suck the wind right out of the Phils sails in the top of the 10th. Scot tEyre hits Jonny Gomes with a pitch and a single for Curtis Dickerson put runners on first and second, when a routine grounder by Jerry Hairston to Ryan Howard goes right through Howard's legs. Nobody to back him up, so a two basea advancement for everyone with Gomes crossing the plate. Eyre intentionally walks Joey Votto to load th bases and gives way to Brad Lidge, who gets a home-to-first doubleplay and a groundout to end the inning..Damage already done though, and the Phils go down 1-2-3 in the bottom of the 10th. For the normally reliable Cordero, 2/3 of an inning with two runs allowed with a loss two games ago vs. the Phils, and 3 runs in an inning and 2/3 today but gets a gift-wrapped win. I put the play account in from the bottom of the 8th on. *** BOTTOM OF INNING 8 *** 0 J.Rollins 4-12 16 1 Single b-1 0 1 S.Victorino 1- 4 13 3 Triple 1-H b-3 0 3 C.Utley 4-10 1 Pop Out b-0 1 3 R.Howard 1-11 4 Walk b-1 SUBSTITUTE P - Francisco Cordero 1 1 3 J.Werth 3-11 7 1 Home Run 3-H 1-H b-H 1 G.Dobbs 1-10 3 Fly Out b-0 2 P.Feliz 3- 7 5 Single b-1 SUBSTITUTE PH- Carlos Ruiz 2 1 C.Ruiz 5- 8 6 Ground Out b-0 *** TOP OF INNING 9 *** SUBSTITUTE P - Scott Eyre SUBSTITUTE C - Carlos Ruiz SUBSTITUTE LF- John Mayberry Jr 0 R.Hernandez 5- 4 3 Ground Out b-0 1 J.Bruce 1- 9 4 Ground Out b-0 2 E.Encarnaci 1- 6 13 3 Fly Out b-0 *** BOTTOM OF INNING 9 *** 0 J.Mayberry 5- 6 3 Strike Out b-0 1 J.Rollins 1- 6 6 Ground Out b-0 2 S.Victorino 4- 9 5 Walk b-1 2 1 C.Utley 2-11 2 3 Home Run 1-H b-H 2 R.Howard 5- 2 2 Ground Out b-0 *** TOP OF INNING 10 *** SUBSTITUTE PH- Jonny Gomes 0 J.Gomes 3-10 2 HBP b-1 0 1 C.Dickerson 1-11 10 4 Single 1-2 b-1 0 12 J.Hairston 8 2 Base Error - 1B 2-H 1-3 b-2 0 23 J.Votto 0 Int Walk b-1 SUBSTITUTE P - Brad Lidge 0 123 B.Phillips 5-10 4 Ground Out Double Play 3-o 2-3 1-2 b-0 2 23 L.Nix 6- 4 3 Ground Out b-0 *** BOTTOM OF INNING 10 *** SUBSTITUTE P - Josh Roenicke SUBSTITUTE SS- Paul Janish 0 J.Werth 5- 7 3 Strike Out b-0 SUBSTITUTE PH- Chris Coste 1 C.Coste 6-12 5 Fly Out b-0 2 P.Feliz 2-11 13 5 Ground Out b-0 |

WEB GEMS- Bot 1st: Jerry Hairston Jr robbed Shane Victorino of a base hit.
Joey Votto hit a homerun and had 4 RBI at Citizen's Bank Park where the
Cincinnati Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies in 10 innings 7 to 6.
The score was tied at 6 after nine. Cincinnati was victorious in the 10th
inning. Jonny Gomes was hit by a pitch. Chris Dickerson stepped into the
batter's box and he laced a one-base hit. Jerry Hairston Jr then reached on
an error. Votto stepped in and he was walked intentionally to load the
bases. Brandon Phillips came to the plate and grounded into a double play.
Philadelphia was set down quietly in the bottom of the 10th.
The winning pitcher was Francisco Cordero(2-2) who allowed 3 runs in 1 and 2/3
innings. Cordero was helped out by Josh Roenicke who recorded his 1st save.
Scott Eyre(2-3) was charged with the loss in relief. He was a hard-luck
loser as he did not allow an earned run in his 1 inning of work.
