The Reds climbed within 6 games of the fourth place Brewers with a 5-4 win tonight at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati. A three run sixth inning proved decisive.
The Brewers got off to a hot start in the second half, with 3 of the first 4 hitters getting singles to produce a run when Jonathon Lucroy’s single to right scored Jonathan Villar. Villar had singled to lead off the game and gone to third on a single by Ryan Braun.
