Adrian Houser logged his longest start since 2021, Andruw Monasterio hit his first big-league home run, and Victor Caratini also went deep as the Brewers secured a series win over the Reds with a 5-1 victory on Sunday.
Monasterio kicked off the scoring with his three-run blast in the top of the first inning. He would leave the game after the third inning as a precaution after Will Benson’s hand struck him in the face on a pickoff attempt at second base.
The Brewers expanded their lead to 5-0 with a two-run fifth inning. Caratini hit a 429-foot solo shot.
