Tom Eshelman (3-2) pitched six-shutout innings after coming off the seven-day disabled list and Dylan Cozens hit three home runs as the Fightin Phils (73-37) beat the Bowie Baysox (47-62) 13-0 on Wednesday night. Cozens also recorded seven-RBI as he and Rhys Hoskins are the first teammates in Reading history to have 30 or more home runs in a season.

Reading scored two runs off Brandon Barker (5-5) in the bottom of the first to take a 2-0 lead. Jorge Alfaro brought in a run on a ground-out and Cozens hit his 28th home run of the season. Scott Kingery hit a RBI single off Barker in the bottom of the second to extend Reading's lead to 3-0.

Cozens and Hoskins hit back-to-back home runs off Barker in the bottom of the third to take a 5-0 lead. The home run for Cozens was his 29th and the home run for Hoskins was his 31st. It's the 12th time this season they've homered in the same game and also the fifth time they've hit back-to-back home runs.

Bowie's Barker allowed five runs through 2 1/3 innings. Michael Zouzalik entered the game with one out in the bottom of the third. He pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings before Scott McGough entered the game in the bottom of the sixth. Cozens belted a three-run home run off McGough to give Reading an 8-0 lead. It was his second five-RBI game of the season and his first three-home run game of the season. The last Fightin Phil to hit three home runs in a game was Brian Pointer on June 27th last season in Portland.

Jake Fox hit a home run off McGough to give Reading a 9-0 lead. The home run for Fox was his 20th of the season. Cozens hit a two-run triple off Stefan Crichton to extend Reading's lead to 11-0. The last seven-RBI game for a Reading player was in 2001. J.P. Roberge had seven-RBI at Akron on July 20th of that season. Cozens then scored on an error by Baysox first-baseman Joey Terdoslavich to give Reading a 12-0 lead. Andrew Pullin hit a RBI double off Crichton in the bottom of the eighth to add another run, 13-0.

Mario Hollands pitched two scoreless innings in relief of Eshelman. Victor Arano made his AA debut in the top of the ninth. He gave up a double to Chance Sisco but finished out the game without allowing a run.
