Jose Barrero hit a walk-off single as Nick Lodolo and Alexis Diaz pitched a combined shutout to help the Cincinnati Reds avoid the sweep from the Philadelphia Phillies. Jeff and Steve are joined by Connor Thomas from Locked On Phillies to detail the dominant hitting from the Phillies, the rough pitching (except for Wednesday) for the Reds, and how the Phillies have transformed after the firing of Joe Girardi. The Reds and Phillies have a key connection that is benefitting the Phillies and it is not Nick Castellanos. Also, the Reds and Phillies futures are very different as the Phillies look like a layoff team.
