Reliever Santillan strikes out Bohm with bases loaded in the 8th, Reds beat Phillies 9-6
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Spencer Steer hit a two-RBI double to spark a five-run third inning and Reds reliever Tony Santillan struck out Alec Bohm with the bases loaded to end the eighth and lead Cincinnati past the Philadelphia Phillies 9-6 on Friday.
Phillies starter Jesus Luzardo lasted only two-plus innings and Reds starter Andrew Abbott — both pitchers entered with seven wins — couldn't get out of the fourth. The Reds or Phillies scored at least one run in each of the first six innings and the defending NL East champion Phillies finished with 14 hits. The Reds had 11.
Nick Castellanos hit a two-run homer in the first inning to help stake Luzardo (7-5) to a 3-0 lead.
Luzardo pitched like an All-Star deep into May with an ERA hovering under 2.00 through his first 10 starts. He has been rocked in most of his outings since. He allowed a run in the second inning and gave up two run-scoring singles, a sacrifice fly and Steer's double in the third that made it 6-3.
Elly De La Cruz added an RBI single in the fourth and the Reds tacked on two more runs in the fifth for a 9-4 lead.
Sam Moll — one of seven Reds pitchers — tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings to earn the win and Emilio Pagán got his 19th save. Santillan truly saved the game when he caught Bohm looking on a 98 mph fastball to keep the score 9-6. Key moment
Trailing 7-4 in the fifth, the Phillies had runners on the corners with one out and Kyle Schwarber at bat. Schwarber hit a comebacker to the pitcher, who got the forceout at second. Edmundo Sosa hesitated on the basepath and got a late jump before he decided to scurry home. De La Cruz nailed Sosa at the plate to end the inning. Key stat
Reds manager Terry Francona moved four wins away from becoming the 13th manager to win 2,000 games. Up next
The Reds send LHP Nick Lodolo (5-5, 3.52 ERA) to the mound against Phillies LHP Ranger Suárez (7-2, 2.00 ERA).

Which 10 Players Have the Most RBIs in MLB History?
The long ball has marveled the baseball world since the dawn of time, but it can only generate so much run production if nobody is on base. Driving in runners and the timely nature of it is all mental, as a double with a runner on second base counts for as much as a double with nobody on base: it's a double. To an extent, those who drive in the most runs are on playoff teams and therefore tend to have more runners on base to rack up their RBI total. That said, which players have the most RBIs in MLB history? FOX Sports Research compiled a list of players who have driven in the most runs since RBIs became an official statistic in 1920. 10 players with the most RBIs in MLB history 10. Willie Mays: 1,909 One of the best center fielders in MLB history, Mays was a run-producing machine for the San Francisco Giants, with whom he spent the majority of his career (1951-52 and 1954-72). Mays, a two-time NL MVP, 12-time Gold Glover and 24-time All-Star, led the National League in home runs four times and drove in 100-plus runs in 10 seasons. 9. Eddie Murray: 1,917 Murray was a force to be reckoned with from the jump for the Baltimore Orioles, as the first baseman was the 1977 American League Rookie of the Year Award winner. The switch-hitting star hit for both contact and power and drove in 100-plus runs in six seasons, five of them coming with the Orioles, with whom he won the 1983 World Series. A three-time Gold Glover, three-time Silver Slugger and eight-time All-Star, Murray finished his career with 1,917 RBIs. 8. Jimmie Foxx: 1,922 Foxx was a menace from the right side and one of the most powerful hitters the game has ever seen. Winning two batting titles and earning nine All-Star nods, Foxx hit 534 career home runs and drove in 1,922 runs. In doing so, Foxx led the AL in home runs four times, RBIs three times and drove in 100-plus runs in 13 seasons, including 150-plus runs in four seasons. Foxx, a three-time MVP, won two World Series with the Philadelphia Athletics and was an All-Star for both Philadelphia and the Boston Red Sox. 7. Stan Musial: 1,951 Musial was an unbelievable hitter for the St. Louis Cardinals. The outfielder/first baseman was a balanced hitter who seldom struck out. Musial drove in 100-plus runs in 10 seasons, won seven NL batting titles, led the NL in doubles eight times and triples five times. A three-time NL MVP and 24-time All-Star, Musial finished his 22-year career with 1,951 RBIs, with his 3,630 career hits ranking fourth in MLB history. 6. Babe Ruth: 1,983 Ruth hit a lot of home runs — 714 to be exact, which ranks third all-time. "The Babe" drove in 1,983 runs from 1920-on. Mind you, he was primarily an elite starting pitcher for the first five years of his career with the Red Sox. Nevertheless, whether it was with the Red Sox or the New York Yankees, Ruth was an imposing and overwhelming force from the left side of the plate. Ruth led the AL in home runs 12 times, RBIs five times and is first in MLB history with a career .690 slugging percentage. 5. Lou Gehrig: 1,995 Gehrig drove in runs in his sleep. The star first baseman led the AL in RBIs five times and home runs three times, while totaling 100-plus RBIs in 13 seasons and 140 RBIs in nine of those seasons. Helping the Yankees win six World Series across his 17-year career (1923-39), Gehrig was an impact hitter from the left side who won two AL MVP awards. Gehrig hit 493 career home runs and drove in 1,995 runs. 4. Barry Bonds: 1,996 When you own the all-time record for home runs, chances are you're going to rank high on an RBI list. And Bonds, who blasted 762 home runs, indeed drove in 1,996 runs, which ranks fourth all-time. Bonds totaled 100-plus RBIs in 12 seasons, won two NL batting titles, claimed seven NL MVPs and won 12 Silver Slugger awards. And he drew an MLB-record 2,558 walks on top of it, including an MLB-record 688 intentional walks. 3. Alex Rodriguez: 2,086 Rodriguez provided electricity at the plate. A three-time AL MVP Award winner, the superstar infielder was a hassle from the right side, slugging at an elite rate with three different teams (Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers and Yankees). He led the NL in home runs five times, RBIs twice and totaled 100-plus RBIs in 14 seasons. A 10-time Silver Slugger and 14-time All-Star, Rodriguez hit 696 career home runs, which ranks fifth all-time, and drove in 2,086 runs. 2. Albert Pujols: 2,218 Arguably the best first baseman of the 21st century, Pujols was as intimidating in the batter's box as anybody in his generation. A three-time NL MVP Award winner and six-time Silver Slugger, Pujols totaled 40-plus home runs in seven seasons and 100-plus RBIs in 14 seasons. The impact, power-hitting Pujols, who played for both the Cardinals (2001-11 and 2022) and Los Angeles Angels (2012-21), cranked 703 career home runs, which ranks fourth all-time, and drove in 2,218 runs. 1. Henry Aaron: 2,297 Aaron hit for contact, won three Gold Gloves and helped the Braves win the 1957 World Series. There was nothing that Aaron didn't do at a great-to-elite level. On the offensive front, he launched 755 home runs, which ranks second in MLB history, drove in an MLB-record 2,297 runs and tallied 3,771 hits, which ranks third. Furthermore, Aaron totaled 100-plus RBIs in 11 seasons and 40-plus home runs in eight seasons. Check out all of our Daily Rankers . Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Phillies star Nick Castellanos went at it with fan who ‘crossed multiple lines' in shocking scene
One Phillies fan irked Nick Castellanos to the point where he decided to shout and gesture toward the fan in the moments after a loss Friday. After second baseman Bryson Stott fouled out to end Philadelphia's 9-6 setback against the Reds at Citizens Bank Park, Castellanos remained near the top of the dugout and started yelling toward the stands — while pointing his finger and appearing to gesture for someone to leave — as captured by the NBC broadcast. Advertisement It's unclear from the video what Castellanos said or what prompted the exchange, but Jace Kaleikau — a senior video producer with the Phillies, according to LinkedIn — wrote in two posts on X that he was 'right there' and witnessed a drunk fan yelling at Stott as Castellanos defended his teammate. 4 Nick Castellanos points at a fan. _piccone/X 'I was right there and a drunk fan came all the way down by the dugout and was screaming at Stott for getting the last out,' Kaleikau wrote in one post. Advertisement 'I would have been shocked if someone didn't stand up for him. The fan crossed multiple lines, all while being like 5 feet away.' Kaleikau added in the second post that 'if there ever was a time when a fan went too far that warranted a response from a player, this was it.' The Phillies, who holdd a ½-game lead in the NL East entering Saturday, lost for the eighth time in 12 games Friday, going just 3-for-13 with runners in scoring position and stranding 11 runners on base to open a three-game set against the Reds. Advertisement 4 Castellanos in the dugout after Friday's loss. _piccone/X 4 Castellanos motioning to the fan. _piccone/X Castellanos launched his 11th homer of the season to give the Phillies a temporary 3-0 lead in the first inning, but that advantage disappeared when Cincinnati scored five times in the third and knocked Philadelphia starter Jesús Luzardo out of the game. The outfielder is hitting .278 with a .771 OPS during his third season with the Phillies, though Castellanos' impressive streak of playing in 236 consecutive games came to an end last month when he made an undisclosed 'inappropriate comment' to manager Rob Thomson — following Thomson's decision to remove him for a defensive replacement — and was benched for a game.

IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect 'One of the many things about Nick that I love is that he's very emotional,' Thomson told reporters before Philadelphia's June 17 game. 'He loves to play and he loves to play every inning of every game. I just thought last night, he made an inappropriate comment after he came out.' The Phillies send Ranger Suárez to the hill to oppose the Reds' Nick Lodolo on Saturday.
