I don’t know that I’ve enjoyed a Brewer win this much all year, which is saying something. The Milwaukee Nine (47-33) topped the Cincinnati Reds (34-47) by coming back from two two-run deficits, surviving an injury to Christian Yelich, and making key plays offensively, defensively, and on the mound.
The game was played in three distinct sections. The Reds won the first third; the two teams tied in the middle third, and the Brewers emphatically won the final third.
After the Brewers went down against Anthony DeSclafani in the top of the first, Jose Peraza drilled a Junior Guerra 2-0 fastball deep into left center for a homer and a 1-0 lead.
