After losing their last two games to Atlanta, the Brewers hoped for a bounce-back series against the Reds, who are the worst team in baseball. Brandon Woodruff was on the hill and looked to pick up his fourth win of the season. Luis Castillo got the ball for the Reds for his first start of the season.
Woodruff struggled early, giving up a home run to Colin Moran in the bottom of the second. The Brewers would retake the lead in the top of the fourth when Rowdy Tellez hit a two-run double to center field. Milwaukee would then gain more insurance in the top of the fifth when Narvaez smashed a home run to right-center.
