The Cincinnati Reds' bats erupted in an 8-0 rout of the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday afternoon, as Miguel Andújar's three-run homer in the seventh inning broke open what had been a tight pitcher's duel. Hunter Greene dominated for the Reds, tossing six scoreless innings with six strikeouts while allowing just three hits, silencing a Phillies lineup that managed only four singles all game. Philadelphia's offensive struggles were epitomized by Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber combining to go 1-for-8 with six strikeouts, as the heart of their order failed to generate any momentum.

Elly De La Cruz and Noelvi Marte each collected two hits to fuel Cincinnati's balanced attack, while the Phillies' bullpen unraveled in the late innings—Jordan Romano surrendered four runs without recording an out in the seventh. The decisive victory marked Cincinnati's third straight win and dropped Philadelphia below .500 on their road trip, raising questions about their offense's reliability against quality pitching as the playoff race intensifies.
