The Phillies won, 3-1, but Burns went 4 2/3 innings. He exited having blanked the National League East-leading Phillies (53-37) but was charged with an earned run when reliever Sam Moll entered the game and allowed a game-tying double to Middletown-native Kyle Schwarber.

The Reds have shown that they’re a quality team. They’re squarely in the mix for a wild card spot. But if they ever get there, they’ll end up in a place like Philadelphia against a team like the Phillies with pitchers like Ranger Suarez and Zack Wheeler on the mound for the opposing team.

Edmundo Sosa, Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber homered as the Philadelphia Phillies topped the visiting Cincinnati Reds 5-1 on Saturday and evened the three-game series.
