CINCINNATI — Brandon Phillips homered and had five RBIs, then scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning on Todd Frazier’s single to help the Cincinnati Reds rally from a six-run deficit to pull out a 7-6 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Arizona led, 6-3, with one out in the seventh when reliever Bryan Shaw (1-4) walked pinch-hitter Xavier Paul and leadoff batter Drew Stubbs. Wilson Valdez’s grounder skipped under the glove of first baseman Paul Goldschmidt for a run-scoring error, setting up Phillips’ game-tying two-run double to left-center field. Phillips moved to third on Jay Bruce’s groundout to Goldschmidt against reliever Mike Zagurski and scored on Frazier’s single to left off reliever Brad Ziegler.

Alfredo Simon (2-1) allowed one hit in 1 2-3 innings for the win.
