Brewers defeat Reds 10-7 following five-run fifth inning

The Milwaukee Brewers secured a 10-7 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on September 4 at Great American Ball Park. The decisive moment occurred in the fifth inning when a defensive error by Elly De La Cruz contributed to a five-run rally for Milwaukee. Starting pitcher Rhett Lowder surrendered seven runs over four innings, while the Reds’ bullpen could not stifle the Brewers' offense after the early lead. Despite a three-run home run from Eugenio Suárez and a two-run shot by Matt McLain, Cincinnati fell to 1-7 against Milwaukee this season. Trevor Megill recorded his 26th save of the year for the Brewers. The two teams are scheduled to continue the series on September 5 with Andrew Abbott facing Dustin May.
