CINCINNATI -- Michael Lorenzen has made the most of his opportunities at the plate as a relief pitcher this season. Lorenzen clubbed his second home run of the year off Brewers starter Chase Anderson in the sixth inning of Thursday's game to put the Reds on the board and cut Milwaukee's lead in half at 2-1.
It was just the second hit of the night for the Reds, and Lorenzen's fourth career home run. Anderson showed Lorenzen a little bit of everything in the at-bat, throwing a pair of curveballs, two fastballs and a changeup as Lorenzen fouled a couple pitches off and worked 2-2 count.
