PHILADELPHIA -- Juan Encarnacion homered in his third straight game and Barry Larkin doubled to key a six-run comeback in the seventh inning Friday night to lead the Cincinnati Reds over the Philadelphia Phillies 8-5.
The Reds trailed 5-2 before rallying against three Phillies pitchers.
Larkin, who tripled and scored in the sixth, hit a tying double in the seventh and scored the go-ahead run.
Wilton Guerrero had an RBI triple, Aaron Boone doubled home a run and Sean Casey and Jason LaRue each had RBI singles in the big inning.
Rheal Cormier (0-1) pitched to one batter, giving up a single to Adam Dunn, and took the loss.
Jim Brower (1-0) pitched a scoreless sixth inning and got the victory. Danny Graves worked the ninth for his fourth save.
Encarnacion hit a solo home run in the first. He has connected in three consecutive games for the second time in his career.
The Phillies scored five times in the third and chased starter Chris Reitsma.
Doug Glanville hit a one-out double, moved to third on a double by Marlon Anderson that was misjudged by right fielder Ruben Mateo and scored on a throwing error by Boone at third base.
Mike Lieberthal and Travis Lee added RBI singles and Pat Burrell hit a two-run double to make it 5-1.
Phillies starter Randy Wolf, who missed the first 10 games of the season with tendinitis in his left elbow, gave up two runs and five hits in 5 2-3 innings.
Reitsma matched the shortest outing of his career, going just 2 1-3 innings.
Notes:@ The Phillies used a new batting order, moving Anderson up to third from the eighth spot and moving everyone down a slot. ... In the second inning, the Phillies paid tribute to Thomas Wood, who was a member of the fan group called the Wolf Pack that actively supports Randy Wolf. Wood, 21, died on Wednesday after a car accident last Friday. The Wolf Pack, who wear wolf masks and sit in the highest level of Veterans Stadium in left field, was at the game on Friday.
