The Cincinnati Reds swept a double header in Milwaukee against the Brewers on Thursday night behind huge days at the plate for Nick Castellanos and Jesse Winker, and strong pitcher all around by the pitchers who gave up just one run across both games. The sweep moved the Reds into a tie with the Brewers for third place in the division, and saw them pick up two games on the second place Cardinals who were swept in a double header earlier in the day by the Pirates.
