Statcast | Box Score | Game Thread

Andrew Abbott had a perfect game with two outs in the top of the 3rd inning, but Milwaukee put together three straight hits to grab a 1-0 lead. In the bottom of the inning the Reds would load the bases with one out but couldn’t capitalize on the opportunity and stranded everyone.

In the top of the 5th inning the Brewers extended their lead to 3-0 when Jackson Chourio hit a 2-run home run. Cincinnati would get one of those runs back in the bottom of the 5th when Jose Trevino picked up his second double of the day and scored later in the inning on a ground out to make it 3-1.

The score didn’t stay there for long as Daz Cameron followed a leadoff walk in the 6th inning with his first home run of the year to make it 5-1. Two innings later saw Wade Miley take over for the Reds and he would give up a run in the 8th and then three more in the 9th as Milwaukee grabbed a 9-1 lead. Cincinnati couldn’t rally in the bottom of the 9th as the Brewers held on for the win.

Key Moment of the Game

Daz Cameron’s home run in the 6th that made it 5-1.

Three of those hits belonged to Jose Trevino. The other hit came off of the bat of Will Benson.

Wade Miley gave up six hits in his two innings pitched. It was his first big league game in nearly 14 months.
