Reed's flag fever rattles Phillies as Reed stars
Ron Reed, sidelined by a pennant chase, looks to start Tuesday after a Saturday loss to Cincinnati.

The Phillies, led by manager Danny Ozark, ride Reed's arm but must balance workload. Other NL results include Astros over Pirates 9-4 and Giants 9 Mets 2.
