Reds halt losing streak with Bruce's late heroics

PHILADELPHIA, May 24 (Reuters) - Cincinnati's Jay Bruce delivered a bases-clearing double in the ninth inning to give the Reds a 6-3 win over National League East leaders Philadelphia and snap their six-game losing streak.

With the score tied at 3-3 in the final inning, Bruce stroked the double against Phillies reliever Ryan Madson, who took the loss.
With two outs and a man on base in the ninth, Philadelphia intentionally walked Joey Votto while Scott Rolen reached base on an infield single to load the bases and set the stage for Bruce.
The Phillies (29-19) scored twice in the second inning and had one run in the fourth to take a 3-1 lead, but Cincinnati's (26-23) Brandon Phillips tied the game with a two-run single in the fifth.
