Delahanty Leads Phillies to 10-6 Win Over Reds
Led by Ed Delahanty, the Philadelphia Phillies downed the Cincinnati Reds, 10-6. Delahanty was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 4 for the Phillies. The winning pitcher was Charlie Ferguson. He's now 13-9. He went 9 innings, allowing 6 runs on 9 hits for the Phillies. Philadelphia is now 42-30.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Nap Lajoie came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Cincinnati pitcher Mike Smith, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Philadelphia on top, 7-6.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Delahanty told the Philadelphia Daily News. "It's as simple as that."
