Joey Ortiz continues to add to his impressive resume in his rookie season, and his latest feat was a decisive, three-run home run in the Brewers’ 3-1 win over the Reds.
The Reds and Brewers combined for just nine hits on the afternoon, leading to a dearth of offensive opportunities. There was, however, a fair amount of traffic on the basepaths between walks and stolen bases moving men into scoring position.
The fifth inning was exemplary of what has led the Brewers to a division lead at this point in the season.
