Cincinnati RedsvsMilwaukee Brewers
CIN 2/MIL 4
Things to say
Milwaukee beat Cincinnati 4-2 at American Family Field to move to 53-31.
01
opener
Brewers took care of business at home, 4-2 over the Reds. Nothing flashy, they just kept the line moving. Milwaukee's got the best record in the National League right now and it shows.
02
key player
The Brewers' starter got into his stuff early and went deep into the game. That rotation is quietly carrying them.
03
hot take
Say what you want, but Milwaukee's the most complete team in that division and nobody's really talking about them.
04
deep cut
Reds left too many guys on base again. Their offense goes cold the second you get through the heart of the order.
05
exit
Anyway, real test is who they see after the break. Long season, we'll see if they hold up.
The recap
Milwaukee took care of business at home, knocking off Cincinnati 4-2 to keep rolling at a 53-31 clip that's looking like the class of the division. The Brewers' arms did the heavy lifting, holding the heart of the Reds order in check and turning it over to a bullpen that slammed the door late.
Cincinnati scratched across a couple but never really got into a groove at the plate, and at 39-46 they're running out of runway to climb back into it. Nothing flashy, just a tidy two-run win from a team that keeps finding ways to bank them.
