The Phillies added an insurance run in the eighth on Edmundo Sosa's sacrifice fly to restore a three-run cushion.

The Reds had opportunities late, including loading the bases with two outs in the eighth, but Suárez struck out to end the threat. Wheeler dominated Cincinnati's lineup, allowing one run over seven innings while striking out 14. As a team, the Reds struck out 18 times.

The Cincinnati bullpen continued its recent strong stretch, allowing just one run over the final three innings.
