Cincinnati RedsvsMilwaukee Brewers
CIN 2/MIL 7
Things to say
The Brewers beat the Reds 7-2 at home to move to 52-31.
01
opener
Brewers took care of business at home, 7-2 over Cincy. Milwaukee's just rolling right now. That's a good club.
02
key player
The heart of that Brewers order did the damage — they put up seven and never really looked back. Somebody in the middle left the yard.
03
hot take
Reds are hovering under .500 for a reason. That lineup goes quiet way too often.
04
deep cut
Milwaukee's starter got into his stuff early and worked deep, so they barely had to touch the pen. That's how you win a getaway-type game.
05
exit
Fifty-two wins already for the Brew Crew — I'll be watching to see if they keep pulling away in the Central.
The recap
Milwaukee handled Cincinnati 7-2 at American Family Field and it never felt as close as even that. The Brewers jumped on the Reds early and let the bats do the talking, pushing across seven while the bullpen slammed the door once they had the cushion.
Cincinnati managed just two and couldn't string anything together against the heart of Milwaukee's staff. At 52-31, the Brew Crew keep rolling while the Reds slide back under .500.
