Reds Suffer Tough Luck Loss
06-03-2008 10:38 pm

Aaron Harang worked into the seventh inning but wound up with another hard-luck loss in a 3-2 Reds defeat Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park.

Harang (2-8) gave up three earned runs and nine hits with one walk and four strikeouts. But he was outdone by Phillies starter Adam Eaton, who gave up one run and three hits over 6 2/3 innings for the win.

Eaton (2-3) retired his first six batters in a row until Edwin Encarnacion's leadoff home run in the top of the third gave the Reds a 1-0 lead. The Phillies right-hander shut down all offensive efforts after that by retiring 12 of the next 14 batters.

Encarnacion began the eighth with a triple to the left-center-field wall against Tom Gordon and scored on pinch-hitter Javier Valentin's sacrifice fly.

After a 5-1 homestand, the Reds have lost the first two games of the four-game series in Philadelphia.
