The Reds lost in Philadelphia on Tuesday 9-4. Here's the good, bad and the ugly from the matchup:

The Good

Tyler Stephenson was impressive at the plate. He scored two runs and hit a double.

Will Benson looked elite in center field when he made a heck of a diving catch to keep a run off the board. That should be in the SportsCenter Top 10.

The Bad

The bullpen never found their rhythm. Ashcraft only gave up two runs, but the bullpen couldn't contain the Phillies long ball.

The Ugly

Allowing that dominant performance from Bryce Harper was definitely hard to watch. For the second time in his career he hit three home runs and his third one was a grand slam that put the game out of reach.

The fielding was awful and that starts with Elly De La Cruz. The Reds had four errors, which is far too many if they're going to win games against quality teams.
