Reds vs. Phillies Game Highlights (5/19/26) | MLB Highlights

Jesus Lozano is going to head out to the mound and try to build off the outing he had last time out he's three and three with an ERA of five point zero seven swing and a foul tip he got it with ninety eight strikeout number one. Here's Elliott Ellie Dela Cruz at a strike three. I don't know what he was doing there. He was not expecting that or just wasn't ready to hit that caught Ellie by surprise. There was no leg kick. It was just a quick pitch drag. Watch where the leg kick goes. He quits it to the play. Ellie starts to step out and he's done. So that'll bring up Spencer Stier one ball no strikes flyball out to short right centerfield. Bryce the start is under 12 pitches and the first inning comes to a Reds right hander Chase Burns the twenty three year old boasts the fifth best ERA in the bigs got a task ahead of him here tonight against his Phillies ballclub especially in this ballpark two strikes the slider a prominent pitch and there it is swinging to this Burns rallies from three oh to strikeout Turner Burns goes to work now against Bryce Harper a rising phenom against a generational hitter caught the other way. Liddy Liddy and he makes a basket catch in short left field for the second out. Now Bollman has hit a nine consecutive games. He has 15 hits during that time minor out to left field but day it's over his head. It's a one hop off the wall. It'll kick toward left center and Bollman has a 10 game hitting streak. And here's Brandon Meyers batting in the cleanup spot to out RBI opportunity. See you way down to the slider book in days in a scoreless first inning scoreless game third inning. The Reds are looking for their first hit and he sends this ball to center field. They say I think Dunlop definitely looks more comfortable than what we saw when he first broke into the big league. Tyler Stevenson got to be on the move here right. He does not. Three two is a take in Stevenson walks first walk issued by Jesus and Aki Brian Hayes ground ball to second. That should be two. There's one and two. It's a double play last night as well. And it moves the runner over to third. So top of the order now Matt McClain runner at third base two down on the ground softly to shortstop and Sosa has it and Jesus gets out of this inning second out of the inning. Trey Turner was ahead three oh Burns rallied and struck him out on a high fly ball and a deep left field. Trey Turner has left the yard and the Phillies have taken a one nothing lead. We mentioned he had the only hit last year against Burns and he has the home run here for the only run. And it's his first home run since April 30th. That was no cheap either. One of the only mistakes that Burns has made and that was a hanging slider and boy Trey put a pretty swing on that thing. L.A. Dela Cruz leads off the Reds fourth inning. L.A. Dela Cruz drives it to center off a glove of Justin Crawford Dela Cruz doesn't stop streaks through second sprinting for third takes it on a slide. You were talking about earlier John that the ball was not carrying anywhere near to what we saw last night. All of a sudden the wind has kicked up blowing out of center field and this ball absolutely took off. It was a breaking ball over the plate and tell you what Crawford I don't I don't think he could believe that the ball jumped the way that it did. That ball was not hit that hard and it took off once it got out there into the outfield. Spencer Stier runner at third nobody out Stier bouncer Dela Cruz holds nobody's covering it first base. Oh what a mental meltdown by the Phillies. Everyone went for the ball like a kid's soccer game and that's going to be an infield hit for Spencer Stier. So now it's men at the corners for Sal Stewart who flied to right his first time. And if the flags are any indication they are whipping wildly there is some tail that will aid a ball in flight to right center. It's going to push it right toward it beyond that point. And that's called ball for that loads the bases that take by Stewart bases loaded for Dane Myers who struck out swinging his first time driven to right field Adoles Garcia racing corner. The ball got carry out of our view that is caught runners tag throw comes in cut by Harper Sackfly RBI Dela Cruz scores Stier to third Stewart to second. It's tied at one. Garcia had to go a long way and at the last second he had to break back towards the foul pole. Now left on left it's up to J.J. Bledsoe. That's Yankees center field Justin Crawford going back on the back pedal deep center makes the catch both runners tag Reds take the lead. Sackfly RBI as Stier scores Stewart over to third and the Reds lead it two to one. That ball is hit to the right of dead center. It's a homer Blake Dunn ripped a single to center his first time up swing and a miss he gets him. That's the fourth strikeout for Luzardo. The Reds do score a couple in the inning one out the batter Brandon Marsh. He struck out his first time up struck him out. That's five strikeouts and counting for Burns now Adoles Garcia. Payal struck him out and the inning is over six strikeouts for Chase Burns through four innings of one run baseball so far Bryson Stott leads on Stott one of only three hits for the Phillies tonight. Backwood K three straight strikeouts for Burns one out. Here's Edmundo Sosa rips through a high heater. The birds has mowed him down. That's four straight strikeouts. He is eight on the night. In fact Burns has struck out five of the last six batters he's faced since giving up the home run to Trey Turner. Helmet tap it was called ball for A.B.S. and a betting. A season high time nine strikeouts for Chase Burns and there are two outs here in the sixth inning to bring up Bryce Harper Harper come back or off Burns gathers the ball flip to first you just hope Burns is OK. He's got a quality start. Didn't see where it hit him. I guess it got him in the lake because Burns is kind of gingerly jogging off the field toward the Reds dugout. But that was a heat seeker bullet. Looked like it got him in the back of his right leg. But hopefully he's going to be OK. Moments ago Chase Burns in the dugout. Here that he is likely done he did win visibly after that comeback or into his last inning. It'll be J.J. Bledsoe starting it off for the Reds in the seventh inning. They hold a two to one lead over the Phillies. New pitcher for the Philz is left hander Tanner Bank with a hard bouncer fair that's trouble. Lede burning down the line Garcia after it right field corner Lede peaks and slows it second. He threads a standing double to set the stage and now Blake Dunn up. And you know what his obvious goal is to try to get that runner to third base chopped right side back in the Harper Fair cover and it's behind him that liberates Bledsoe. He pulls for third Dunn turns and goes to second. Oh another mistake on the right side of the Phillies infield and it's second and third. Tanner didn't break. No but again that's right at Stott's position. It's right at Stott's position. Harper is off the line and in and he's cutting that off. Here's Stevenson infield is in nobody out. So a three and one counts to Tyler Stevenson and it's ball four and he will now face key Brian Hayes with the bases loaded and nobody out over the left side. Sosa's got it. He's going to come home. They've got the force out of the plates. Heck of a play right there. Mundo and now here comes Don Mattingly his right hander. He's ready. He'll make the move. Big bad John is in the ballgame John Bolin with the bases loaded a one run game. Matt McLean checks swing contact at first bare hand fire home on a force of bounce. It's close. That's going to be awfully close. That was the speedy Blake Dunn darting home hand up from Terry Francona Mike the Reds challenge. Could they have an add on run. Harper knew he had little time with the speedy Dunn there got a challenge. Did Dunn beat the bounce throw from Bryce Harper. Tell you what the speed of Dunn may very well have gotten the Reds a run there and I think it will. Yeah I think he stomps on that plate before the ball skips in. And by the way while Harper had the right idea and did the best he could. There have been three plays that Harper is not made cleanly tonight that have injured the Phillies and aided the Reds. After review the call on the field is overturned. The runner is safe. The catcher did not maintain control of the baseball. Verde safe and the Reds have a three one lead one out. The fielder's choice haven't assumed an RBI infield in L.A. De La Cruz has tripled scored. He can blow it wide open payoff. That's an RBI a bases loaded walk. Oh how refreshing is it to see the other team walk in a run and the Bluebirds come out in Philly it's four one Cincinnati. Now the pressure has increased immensely on Jonathan Bolin after walking De La Cruz Spencer Steer whose lone career Grand Slam came in this ballpark popped up over on first base side Harper's under it. The flyer was called and he makes the catch in foul territory for the second out and now the eighth man to come to the plate in the inning is Sal Stewart. It's that one out the second base stop down to a knee. He's got it and that'll wrap up the inning and the side is retired two runs home in the inning however. So Burns leaves having retired the last ten in a row it's up to Pierce Johnson a lead off walk. Here's Brandon Marsh to two swung through elevated he and the second out of the inning though Johnson remains in his Bryson Scott comes to the plate now Scott has hit lefties better of late to to struck him out on a fastball through that by Tony Santillan in the same situation. And he'll get the top of this Phillies order and he's on to protect the three run lead the lone exception and Alec Bowe walk in the seven long run in foul ground tracking it down Blake Dunne and his steady rain he had to cover a ton of territory and there's the first down. Well that's a really great play one out. Here's Bryce Harper Harper's over three tonight. The heater up strike three and he dialed that one up a bit to ninety six this pitch a tad higher than the previous and that fastball quite enticing to a fastball hitter and make no mistake about it. Bryce Harper is a fastball hitter. Santillan searching for a second save of the season would be his thirteenth of his career. Alec Bowe has doubled walk grounded. Helmet tap is that the game maybe. Yes. What a game on A.B.S. already. He's smiling. He thinks he's got it. Game for Tony Santillan. He puts down the save and the Reds take down the Bills four to one.
