CINCINNATI (AP) --- Cooper Pratt drove in a season-high four runs with a
bases-loaded triple and a groundout, Brice Turang had a two-run double and the
Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 10-7 on Friday night.
Rhett Lowder was the victim of an error that led to the Brewers' decisive
five-run fifth inning.
Lowder (6-9) gave up a leadoff single to Jackson Chourio and walked Christian
Yelich. William Contreras hit what appeared to be a double-play ground ball to
shortstop, but Elly De La Cruz bobbled it to load the bases. Pratt tripled
inside the first base bag to clear the bases off Sam Moll. He scored on a wild
pitch.
The Reds led 6-4 in the third after Eugenio Suarez's three-run home run off
Shane Drohan. Suarez returned from becoming a U.S. citizen, and his walk-up
song was Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A." It was his 21st home run of the
season and tied him with Ken Griffey Jr. for ninth on the team's home run list
with 210.
Drohan pitched four innings, six runs on five hits, including Matt McLain's
14th home run.
Chad Patrick (8-4) pitched two scoreless innings for the victory. Trevor Megill
picked up his 26th save in 28 chances.
The Brewers have 88 wins. They need 10 wins in the remaining 20 games to set a
franchise record for wins.
