MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Jake Bauers went 3 for 4 with a homer and Jackson Chourio
also went deep in the Milwaukee Brewers' 7-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds
on Tuesday night.
Bauer led off the fifth inning with a 425-foot blast to center for his 15th
homer of the year. He also singled and scored in the second and fourth innings.
Chourio went 2 for 4 and hit a 404-foot solo shot in the eighth. Sal Frelick
went 3 for 4, and Joey Ortiz was 2 for 4 with two RBIs.
Frelick has gone 9 for 18 during a six-game hitting streak.
Cincinnati's Sal Stewart hit his 16th homer of the season, a 382-foot shot to
right in the first inning. Stewart also had an RBI double in the sixth.
Milwaukee's Brandon Sproat (3-4) threw a career-high 106 pitches and allowed
two runs and four hits in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out seven and walked two.
Chad Patrick, Jared Koenig and Grant Anderson teamed up for 3 2/3 innings of
shutout relief.
Milwaukee pulled ahead for good by breaking a 1-all tie in the fourth inning
with a four-run outburst off Rhett Lowder (3-6) that included six singles and a
walk. The first five batters of the inning all singled.
Frelick's bases-loaded bloop hit to left brought home William Contreras with
the go-ahead run. Joey Ortiz followed with a chopper that bounced over the head
of Stewart at first, allowing Bauers and Garrett Mitchell to score.
Chourio capped the rally with a single that brought home Frelick.
Lowder had a career-high eight strikeouts, but he allowed six runs, 11 hits and
a walk in 4 2/3 innings.
