The Reds offered only six hits in support of Bailey and once again David Weathers was unable to protect and preserve.

Weathers gave up a two-out game-ending single to Shane Victorino that scored Pedro Feliz from second base. Feliz led off the inning with a single, but Weathers retired the next two. Then he walked Jimmy Rollins and Victorino ended it with his line-drive single.

Bailey pitched six innings and gave up two runs and seven hits. For only the second time in his career that covers 21 starts, he did not walk a batter.

Last Friday, Bailey turned over a 3-0 lead to the bullpen, a lead that disappeared with one swing of Albert Pujols' bat, a grand slam off Weathers. And the Reds lost that one 7-4.

Bailey retired the first seven Phillies and held them off until his teammates could get him a 2-0 lead in the fourth. The first four Reds reached base in the inning, but only two scored. Jerry Hairston Jr. and Joey Votto singled, then Brandon Phillips walked to fill the bases with no outs.

Hairston scored on Laynce Nix's single and Votto scored on Ramon Hernandez's sacrifice fly to make it 2-0, but Jay Bruce hit into a double play.

The Phillies retrieved one run in the bottom of the fourth on Victorino's single, stolen base and a single by Ryan Howard.

Bailey struck out Howard for the second out of the sixth, his career-best sixth strikeout, but the celebration was short. Jayson Werth, the next batter, tied the game by driving his 19th home run into the right-field seats.

Players spent most of the night sniping at home plate umpire Ron Kulpa. He called 11 batters out on strikes.
