MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Garrett Mitchell tripled in the go-ahead run in the seventh
inning to cap a four-hit night to help the NL Central Division-leading
Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 on Wednesday night.
The Brewers (53-31) moved a season-high 22 games over .500 with their sixth
straight victory over the Reds this season.
Aaron Ashby (12-1) won his major league-leading 12th game with 1 1/3 innings of
scoreless relief. He took over for starter Shane Drohan with two outs in the
sixth. Trevor Megill pitched the ninth for his 12th save.
In the seventh, Reds center fielder Matt McLain, who was playing that position
for the second time in his career after 77 games in the middle infield, dove
and missed Andrew Vaughn's sinking liner. Mitchell followed with his triple
giving him a career-high fourth hit in a game. He then scored on a wild pitch
by Brock Burke (3-4).
Drohan allowed two runs on six hits and matched his season high with seven
strikeouts.
Reds starter Andrew Abbott allowed two runs on five hits and walked a
season-high five.
The Brewers scored on William Contreras's RBI groundout and Jake Bauers'
sacrifice fly in the first. Noelvi Marte tied it in the second with his fifth
homer.
