PHILADELPHIA - Joey Votto's two-out RBI double in the seventh inning spoiled Brett Myers' bid for a no-hitter, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-0 on Wednesday night behind another impressive start by Edinson Volquez.

A sellout crowd hoping to see Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 600th homer saw an old-fashioned pitcher's duel in the rarest of places - hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park.

Junior wasn't in the Reds' lineup for the third consecutive game because of general soreness, including a sore left knee. For the second straight game, he walked as a pinch hitter in the eighth and pitcher Bronson Arroyo ran for him.

Volquez (8-2) allowed two hits, struck out eight, walked two and hit two batters in seven innings, lowering his ERA to a major league best 1.32.
