Eugenio Suarez carried Cincinnati’s offense with a home run that brought home Elly De La Cruz and Tyler Stephenson. Matt McLain also homered as the Reds repeatedly answered Milwaukee’s attacks, but their offense could not sustain that pressure.
The scoring opened when Elly De La Cruz’s single brought Dane Myers home. Milwaukee answered with Cooper Pratt’s groundout bringing Brice Turang across, then took the lead when David Hamilton’s triple scored Garrett Mitchell. Matt McLain’s home run put Cincinnati back in front, and Brice Turang’s double scored Jackson Chourio and William Contreras before Suarez’s homer restored the Reds’ advantage.
Milwaukee’s decisive surge came when William Contreras doubled and Jake Bauers scored. Sal Stewart later brought Dane Myers home for Cincinnati, but the Reds could not close the gap. Rhett Lowder took the loss after a difficult outing, while Chad Patrick earned the win and Trevor Megill closed the ninth.
The Brewers extended their winning streak and kept their place atop the division. Cincinnati was left with the other side of a game defined by its late swing and relentless scoring exchanges.
