That was generously ruled a hit that snaps an 0-for-19 for Nick Martini.

Fernando Cruz, man. Holds the lead at 5-4. And celebrates the moment after Benson makes the catch of the Brandon Marsh at the wall in right.

When Cruz hangs his splitter, it has the same effect as a knuckleball.

Reds have been robbed twice in this inning on ground rule doubles. Stephenson (104 mph) and Elly (108 mph). Both balls were smoked.

A monumentally big 2-out hit from Espinal to tie the game 3-3 in the sixth. His biggest in a Reds uni. And picks up Candy who fanned with runners on second and third and one out. Takes 97 the other way. Steals 2nd.

Phillies have not exactly put on a baserunning clinic tonight. Bohm gets casually caught between first and second on his first inning RBI single and Trea Turner breaks for home way too soon on double steal and is easily thrown out at third for third out. Reds trail only 2-1.

Benson with just his 2nd hit in 22 at-bats but it's his 3rd HR of the season. Elly follows with sharp single to RCF.

The brutal LF sun at GABP strikes again. Spencer Steer had no chance on the liner off the bat of Edmundo Sosa.

Perhaps this alters Bengals strategy a bit for the weekend. Teams will always look to add edge rushers in the draft. Last year, Trey Hendrickson signed a 1 year, $21 million contract extension for 2025, including $8 mill signing bonus.

Bengals could save $12.3 million in cap in a pre-June 1 Hendrickson trade and $15 million post-June 1.

Reds add OF organizational depth by claiming Peyton Burdick off waivers from Baltimore. To make room, LHP Alex Young transferred from 15-day to 60-day IL. Burdick not much for average but 4 HRs in 69 PAs and 77 over the course of his minor league career.

Bengals take care of some pre-draft business, exercising the 5th-year option of 2021 first-rounder Ja'Marr Chase through 2025. This was obviously just a formality and they did same with Joe Burrow before his extension. BTW, Bengals could technically also tag Tee Higgins for 2025
