Duvall has seven RBIs in the first two games of the series, including four on Saturday. His three-run homer was Duvall's second in two days, this time against reliable Brewers reliever Michael Blazek, who was charged with five runs on five hits while recording only two outs. It remained a 6-6 tie into the ninth, when the Reds pushed ahead against Brewers closer Jeremy Jeffress.
The inning began with Jeffress hitting Zack Cozart with a pitch, the sixth hit batsman in the game to match the modern National League record. Four batters later the Reds had the bases loaded with one out for Duvall, who grounded into what appeared an inning-ending double play.
