Reliever Santillan strikes out Bohm with bases loaded in the 8th, Reds beat Phillies 9-6
Associated Press 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). ___ AP MLB: recommended

MLB Has Fans Hyped for Subway Series
MLB Has Fans Hyped for Subway Series originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Subway Series Part II kicks off Friday at Citi Field in Queens. When the New York Yankees and New York Mets squared off back in May, the Yanks took two out of three games. A lot has changed since then, including both teams slipping out of first place in their divisions. Advertisement The Mets (50-38) were recently swept on the road by the Pittsburgh Pirates but bounced back by taking two of three from the Milwaukee Brewers at home. They now trail the Philadelphia Phillies by 1.5 games in the National League East. Across the diamond, the New York Yankees enter the weekend at 48-39. They have dropped four straight and have lost seven of their last 10 games. This week, the Toronto Blue Jays completed a four-game sweep of the Yankees at Rogers Centre. Despite the recent struggles, MLB amped up the energy on Friday with a quick message that lit up fans: "The Subway Series makes its stop in Queens!" Advertisement Even with their frustrations, fans on both sides are excited for the showdown. "Mets in THREE," started from this fan. This Yankees fan disagrees: "Yankees by a million!!!" Here, this fan recognizes the struggles: "Somehow they will both find a way to lose." Excitement coming here: "Subway showdown, let's go!" "John Rocker sends his Happy July 4th wishes New York," mentioned here. The trash talking was on: "We better handle those bums now." New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Penner-Imagn Images On the field, the Yankees will be led by American League batting average leader Aaron Judge. He enters the series with a .364 average, 116 hits, 31 home runs and 70 RBIs. He has been the Yankees' anchor all season. Advertisement For the Mets, slugger Pete Alonso is tied for fourth in National League hits. Alonso needs just five more to reach 100 and is third in the NL with 67 RBI. Friday's series opener at 3:10 p.m. ET features Marcus Stroman starting for the Yankees, while Justin Hagenman gets the nod for the Mets.
