Rookie Travis Wood carried a perfect game into the ninth inning, but even that was not enough as the Reds were handed a 1-0 loss by the Phillies on Saturday night. It was the third consecutive walk-off loss to Philadelphia by the Reds in what has turned into a rough four-game series at Citizens Bank Park.
Wood left the game for reliever Nick Masset in the 10th after Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz broke up Wood's perfect game with a leadoff double in the bottom of the ninth. Coincidentally, it was Ruiz that got the Phillies rally started in the 11th with a one-out double and scored the lone run of the game on a two-out single by Jimmy Rollins.
