Cincinnati built a big road lead and held off a late Phillies push. Philadelphia scored five times but could not match the Reds' offensive burst.
Pitching and matchup notes
Reds pitching weathered enough damage to secure the road win. AthX Engine graded Cincinnati at 20 team FP on the Wednesday card.
Bats that changed the board
De La Cruz's 13 hitting FP and Bleday's 10 hitting FP paced a Reds lineup that kept pressure on Phillies pitching all night.
AthX Engine fantasy angle
Road routs stack hitter FP when the lineup turns over the order. De La Cruz's 13 FP and the Reds' 20 team FP register on separate daily leaderboards from dynamic pricing.
