Playing his first Cactus League game, Cozart gave the Reds a 1-0 lead when he connected with one out in the first inning against Brewers starter Chase Anderson, who made his own spring debut with an otherwise clean inning of work. Cozart finished last season on the disabled list with tendinitis in his surgically repaired right knee, and the Reds have been cautious with him at the start of camp.
The Brewers reclaimed the lead before Reds right-hander Lisalverto Bonilla recorded his first out.
