CINCINNATI (AP) — Santiago Espinal had three RBIs, reliever Fernando Cruz pitched out a jam in the seventh inning and the Cincinnati Reds held on for a 7-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night.
Will Benson had a solo homer in the third inning. Espinal singled home two as part of a four-run sixth and drove in another with a sacrifice fly in the seventh. That came on the heels of a 3-for-4 night for Espinal on Tuesday that included his first homer as a Red.
Cincinnati starter Nick Lodolo went five innings, allowing three runs and six hits while striking out four and walking three.
For the second straight night, Cruz came in with one out and stranded Phillies runners on second and third. Cruz struck out Edmundo Sosa with a splitter and induced a fly ball to right from pinch-hitter Brandon Marsh that Benson tracked down at the wall.
