“Willy Adames walked with one out, loading the bases, then Rowdy Tellez was hit by a pitch to force home the game’s first run and make it 1-0 for the visitors. Two more came across in the top of the ninth, when Yelich singled to center and Adames launched his 11th home run in his 51st game as a Brewer. In the seventh, Christian Yelich hit his first home run since June 26th (and just his 6th on the year in 62 games) to bring the score to 6-0. In the ninth, Jesse Winker singled with one out, then Joey Votto reached base when he grounded to first and Tellez threw wildly to second base.”
““They played a good series in Milwaukee, we played a really good series here, and so we’re kind of back where we started,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Sunday’s victory gave the Brewers an unconventional seven-game series victory over the Reds, who were in Milwaukee for four games just before the break, then hosted the Brewers for three more to begin the second half. Corbin Burnes and the Brewers are back in command in the National League Central. You’ve got to give him a lot of credit.” Burnes delivered the Brewers’ first start of at least eight innings with at least 12 strikeouts since Yovani Gallardo on June 24, 2010, and the 11th start in Brewers history of eight-plus innings, 12-plus strikeouts and no more than one walk.”
