Aaron Harang limited the National League’s highest-scoring lineup to a solo homer Wednesday night, and Brandon Phillips drove in three runs, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 5-1 victory that ended the Philadelphia Phillies’ winning streak at five games.

Harang (4-4) has alternated losses and wins all season. He helped the Reds end a four-game losing streak that was their longest of the season.

Philadelphia averages 5.7 runs a game, the best in the league, but managed only Raul Ibanez’s 14th homer.
