Brewers Rally to Beat Reds 10-8

Milwaukee overcomes an eight to one deficit to win on the road and extend their win streak.

Brewers Rally Past Reds 10-8

Milwaukee trailed Cincinnati 8-1 after a seven-run second inning that chased starter Jacob Misiorowski early in the game. The Reds jumped ahead with a two run double by Elly De La Cruz off DL Hall and four straight hits to push the lead to 8-1. Yelich opened the Brewers scoring in the second with a homer off Red pitcher Nick Martinez, and Milwaukee added runs later in the inning to cut the gap. The Brewers chipped away with a sequence of hits including an RBI double by Turang and a three run homer by Andrew Vaughn, followed by Yelich driving in a run with a two run single in the fourth to tie the game at eight. Yelich then delivered a solo shot in the sixth, giving Milwaukee its first lead. Brandon Lockridge added insurance with a two out run in the seventh after a run scored on a wild pitch.

This game underlines Milwaukee strength in depth. A seven run inning from Cincinnati forced the Brewers to rally, and Milwaukee answered with top to bottom offense led by Yelich who finished with two homers and five RBIs. The Brewers shuffled through six relievers to quiet the Reds late, a pattern that has become a strength as the season tightens. The moment with Yelich using a bat honoring the late Bob Uecker added a human touch to a night that could have slipped away when missteps on the mound piled up early.
