Milwaukee 2 6 1
Cincinnati 6 10 0
By Ryan Bramwell
- The 1st inning was all the Reds needed in the terms of offense for Saturday's game against the Brewers. Three consecutive singles from Cozart, Phillips and Bruce, followed by a sac-fly off the bat of Scotty Rolen had given the good guys a 2-0 lead. Ryan Ludwick pounded out his 15th homer of the season in the next at-bat and boosted the lead to 4-0 before the inning was said and done.
- Bronson Arroyo bounced back in resilient form as he tossed a quality start from the mound. Arroyo gave up two runs on five hits through six innings of work while walking two and striking out six. Good job, Bronson.
- Brandon Phillips gave the Reds added insurance in the seventh inning when he tagged a breaking ball into the left-center field seats for a 2-run shot. The Reds were 6-2 at this point and the score didn't change from that point.
- Arredondo, Marshall, LeCure and Ondrusek combined for the final three innings of work and allowed no runs on only a single hit.
- Offensively Phillips, Bruce, Ludwick and Frazier all contributed two hits apiece. Cozart reached base twice with a single and a walk.
- The Redlegs have won three consecutive games and 10 of their last 12 overall. Sunday they will go for the sweep of the Brewers to end an already successful homestand.
