The Cincinnati Reds claimed a series win against the Milwaukee Brewers following a high-scoring performance from Elly De La Cruz and Tyler Stephenson. De La Cruz contributed two hits and four runs batted in, highlighted by a home run, while Stephenson added two hits and two runs batted in to support the offensive rally. The victory occurred despite a difficult start for Reds pitcher Brady Singer, who yielded six earned runs and issued a career-high six walks. Although Singer surrendered a home run to Jake Bauers and allowed the Brewers to tie the game in the fifth inning, the Reds regained the lead in the subsequent frame. The win stands as an outlier performance, as it is rare for a starting pitcher to concede six earned runs and still be credited with the victory.
