Stott’s Late Homer Lifts Phillies Over Reds for Fifth Straight Win

Philadelphia’s surge under interim manager Don Mattingly highlights a blend of cautious pitching with timely power.

Overview

  • Bryson Stott smashed a two-out, two-run homer in the eighth Monday to flip a 4-3 deficit into a 5-4 Phillies win over the Reds.
  • Rookie Andrew Painter worked six innings for the first time and exited at 69 pitches as the team stuck to a deliberate workload plan.
  • Alec Bohm homered to center in the sixth to give Philadelphia a brief lead and pushed his hitting streak to nine games.
  • The relief corps wobbled as Brad Keller allowed a tying homer and José Alvarado gave up an RBI double, then Orion Kerkering took the win and Jhoan Duran closed a 1-2-3 ninth.
  • Kyle Schwarber was scratched with an illness, recent call-up Otto Kemp started in left, and Garrett Stubbs’ pinch-run broke up a double play to extend the eighth before Stott’s blast.
