Cincinnati RedsvsMilwaukee Brewers
CIN 3/MIL 5
Things to say
The Brewers beat the Reds 5-3 at home to wrap up the series.
01
opener
Brewers took it 5-3. Milwaukee just keeps winning at home, they're sitting at 51-31 now. Reds hung around but couldn't get the big hit.
02
key player
Milwaukee's heart of the order did the damage, a couple knocks with men on. When the top of that lineup gets going they're a problem.
03
hot take
Honestly the Reds bullpen lost that game, not the bats. Manager went to the pen too early and it cost them.
04
deep cut
Brewers starter went deep into it, kept his WHIP down and handed it over with a lead. That's the whole formula for them this year.
05
exit
Reds are under .500 at 39-44, they've got real work to do. Curious to see if they can steal the next series.
The recap
Brewers handled the Reds 5-3 at American Family Field to keep rolling at 51-31, a season that's starting to look real. Milwaukee's bullpen slammed the door late and the bats did enough damage against the heart of Cincinnati's order to never let this one tighten up.
The Reds, now sitting under .500 at 39-44, just couldn't string enough together to climb back. Getaway day in Milwaukee, and the home crowd walked out happy.
