With a chance to move ahead in the standings, the Brewers faced the Reds for the final time this season tonight in Cincinnati. Unfortunately, they couldn’t take advantage.
The Brewers fell behind early in the game. Avisail Garcia led off with a single, but then was caught stealing second base (originally called safe, but overturned on replay). Strikeouts by Christian Yelich and Jedd Gyorko ended the inning, and the Reds took their half of the first inning. Shogo Akiyama walked to start for the Reds, and then Joey Votto hit a two-run home run to put the Reds up 2-0.
