Cincinnati has lost five of its past six games.

Reds starter Micah Owings had a rough time and lasted only three innings. Owings allowed five earned runs and six hits with three walks and three strikeouts. He left trailing by a 5-0 score.

It was a two-out walk to Phillies pitcher Joe Blanton that haunted Owings the most. Philadelphia was already leading, 1-0, when Blanton walked and went to second on Jimmy Rollins' single. Blanton was hit in the back by catcher Ryan Hanigan's pick off throw and took third base. Two runs scored on Chase Utley's two-run hard single off second baseman Brandon Phillips' glove. Raul Ibanez's RBI single made it a 4-0 game.

The deficit stretched to 5-0 in the third when Greg Dobbs hit a two-out solo homer off Owings. Part of his four-RBI day, Utley's two-out solo homer off Ramon Ramirez increased the Reds' hole to six runs.

A five-run Reds fifth made it a game again. The big blow was a three-run home run by Phillips off Blanton that made it a 6-5 game. Add-on runs by Philadelphia, including Ryan Howard's solo homer off Daniel Herrera in the sixth and a four-run seventh against Jared Burton, put the game back out of reach for Cincinnati.
