Reds 6, Phillies 3
PHILADELPHIA — Jay Bruce hit a tiebreaking three-run double in the ninth, and the Reds snapped a six-game skid. Cincinnati had lost eight straight to the Phillies, including a three-game sweep in the division series. Bruce went in with four homers in his past five games, but he struck out three times and popped out before clearing the bases against Ryan Madson.
