Andujar hits a grand slam to help Greene and the Reds beat the Phillies 8-0
Noelvi Marte had two hits and two RBIs for Cincinnati in the rubber game of the three-game series. Elly De La Cruz had two hits and scored two runs.
Greene (5-3) allowed three hits, struck out six and walked none in his big league start since June 3. The ace right-hander had been sidelined by a groin injury.
Philadelphia had won four in a row before dropping its last two games in Cincinnati. The NL East leaders finished with three hits.
Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sánchez (11-4) was charged with four runs, three earned, and seven hits in six innings.
Marte doubled home Austin Hays in the fourth, and Cincinnati added three more runs in the sixth. Hays doubled in De La Cruz, and Marte added an RBI single before coming home on throwing errors by left fielder Brandon Marsh and Sánchez.
The start of the game was delayed about an hour due to inclement weather in the area.
The Reds loaded the bases with two down in the seventh. Andujar, who was acquired from the Athletics at the trade deadline, fouled off two straight pitches with a 2-2 count before driving the sixth consecutive slider thrown by Jordan Romano over the wall in left field.
Key stat
Andujar has homered in back-to-back games and three of the last four overall.
Up next
Jesús Luzardo (11-5, 4.20 ERA) is set to take the mound for the Phillies on Thursday against Brad Lord (3-6, 3.28 ERA) in the first of four games against Washington.

Florida legend Tim Tebow included on AP's 100th anniversary all-time All-America Team
The Associated Press recently announced its All-Time All-America teams amidst the organization's 100th anniversary, bestowing one of the most prestigious honors in college football among a very select few. It should come as no surprise that Florida Gators legend Tim Tebow made the cut, but even the Orange and Blue faithful might be mildly surprised by which roster he landed in. According to the AP's latest lineup, the storied collegiate quarterback earned the First-Team spot under center, joining a star-studded group of historic greats. "Florida's Tim Tebow edged Texas' Vince Young (2005) for all-time first-team quarterback. Tebow won the Heisman and made the AP All-America team as a sophomore in 2007, his first year as the starter," AP writer Eric Olson offers. "He led the Gators to their second national championship in three years in 2008 and narrowly missed a chance at another when the 2009 team started 13-0 but lost to Alabama in the SEC championship game. He remains the SEC career leader in rushing touchdowns and touchdowns responsible for." First team by conference *Based on players' school affiliations at the time they were in college About the AP All-Time All-America team "Of the 25 players on the first team, five won the Heisman Trophy and 21 are in the College Football Hall of Fame, two are nominated for induction in 2026 and two are not eligible because they are not yet 10 years removed from their college careers," the article states. "A panel of 12 AP sports writers who cover college football selected the all-time team. It won't be, and shouldn't be, considered definitive. There have been far more great players over the last century than spots available. "For a player to qualify, he must have been an AP first-team All-American at least once. His professional career, if any, was not to be considered. Also, a member of the all-time team could only be listed on the side of the ball where he was named first-team All-America. All-purpose players could come from any position. "Voters were cautioned against recency bias, but it is notable that only three of the first-team selections played before 1970. Of the 12 players who were three-time All-Americans, only four made the two all-time teams picked by AP."

Phillies Expected To Target $79 Million MVP Candidate In Free Agency
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Kyle Schwarber has been one of the best hitters in baseball this season, and he's only getting better as the year goes on. The Philadelphia Phillies superstar is set to hit free agency at the end of the year, and there's a chance he's earned himself a record-breaking deal in the designated hitter world. Jim Bowden of The Athletic recently suggested the Phillies will make every effort to re-sign Schwarber at the end of the season. ARLINGTON, TEXAS - AUGUST 08: Kyle Schwarber #12 of the Philadelphia Phillies celebrates toward his dugout as he runs the bases on his first inning solo home run against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life... ARLINGTON, TEXAS - AUGUST 08: Kyle Schwarber #12 of the Philadelphia Phillies celebrates toward his dugout as he runs the bases on his first inning solo home run against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field on August 08, 2025 in Arlington, Texas. More"Schwarber is putting together what could be his best year at the ideal time. It looks like he will set career highs in home runs and RBIs," Bowden wrote. "He has hit 40 homers or more in three of the past four years and currently ranks second in the National League in homers (42) and second in RBIs (98). He's crushed both righties (.563 slug) and lefties (.600) this year. "He's the king of teammates — with leadership, baseball IQ, and intangibles that are off the charts. Every team except the Dodgers and Yankees should want him to be their DH. The Phillies will make every effort to re-sign him, but it will be fascinating to see what the open market brings for this special power bat and teammate." The Phillies would be foolish not to aggressively pursue a reunion with Schwarber at season's end. Coming into the year, it might have seemed like this would be the end of the partnership between the two, but Schwarber's incredible season has the Phillies looking like World Series favorites. The Phillies are one of the most aggressive teams in baseball. It would be pretty odd to see Schwarber land somewhere else without the Phillies making their best efforts to retain him.
