Phils Beat Reds 5-4 In 19-Inning Marathon
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Infielder Wilson Valdez wound up as the winning pitcher early Thursday when the Philadelphia Phillies needed 19 innings to outlast the Cincinnati Reds 5-4.
A dwindling crowd at Citizens Bank Park saw Raul Ibanez hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to decide the longest major league game of the season. It ended at 1:19 a.m. after 6 hours, 11 minutes.
Not much time for rest, either. The teams were set to play again Thursday at 1:05 p.m.
