It was another exciting win for the Cincinnati Reds as they score one run in the 8th and 9th innings to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies by the score of 4-3.

The Reds had jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead after two innings but then the Phillies started to hit the ball and and eventually took a 3-2 lead heading into the bottom of the 8th inning. That is when Corey Patterson tied the game with a two out homerun and then in the 9th inning, Paul Bako hit a infield single that scored Ryan Freel.  Wow what a crazy last couple of innings!

Francisco Cordero picked up the win as he pitched the ninth inning when the game was still 3-3.  Aaron Harang had started for the Reds, and pitched seven innings giving up two earned runs on six hits.  Overall it was a good pitching performance by everyone today.
