Milwaukee BrewersvsCincinnati Reds
MIL 6/CIN 5
Things to say
The Brewers edged the Reds 6-5 at Great American Ball Park.
01
opener
Brewers grabbed it 6-5 in Cincy. Back-and-forth all night, real getaway-day feel. Came down to the last couple innings.
02
key player
Milwaukee's heart of the order carried them. Those middle bats kept putting up crooked numbers when it mattered.
03
hot take
Reds had no business losing this one at home. Their bullpen got touched up late, and that's been the story all year.
04
deep cut
Great American is a bandbox, so 5-6 honestly feels low for that park. A couple balls left the yard but it stayed a one-run game.
05
exit
Anyway, Brewers are rolling at 49-29 now. Gonna be tough to catch them in the Central.
The recap
Brewers grind out a 6-5 win in Cincinnati to keep rolling at 49-29, and this one had that one-run, white-knuckle feel right down to the wire. Milwaukee's bats kept answering every time the Reds clawed back at Great American, where the ball always seems to fly.
Cincinnati hangs tough but drops another, slipping to 37-42 and stuck chasing in this division. Getaway day, tight game, and the team with the better record finds a way to steal it on the road.
