After a long night at the ballpark followed by a full day under the sun

CINCINNATI (AP) — Zack Greinke Jersey , Lorenzo Cain just wanted the game to end.With Milwaukee winning, of course.Cain did his part, hitting a home run off the top of the left field fence in the 11th inning that lifted the Brewers over the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 Thursday.NL batting leader Christian Yelich went 0 for 4 with a bases-loaded walk for Milwaukee. On Wednesday night, he went 6 for 6 and hit for the cycle as the Brewers outlasted Cincinnati 13-12 in 10 innings. That’s 21 innings in less than 24 hours.“It’s been tough on the body, this series,” Cain said. “When I hit it, I knew it was a double for sure, but this is Cincinnati, so you never know.”The playoff-contending Brewers totaled just six hits in their latest victory. Cain hit the first pitch from Austin Brice (2-3) that hit the wall and bounced over for his 10th home run.“We got there a little different way today Paul Goldschmidt Jersey ,” Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said. “It was a polar opposite from yesterday. It was hard to tell we were playing by the same rules.”Brice, recalled from Triple-A Louisville before the game, left with what Reds interim manager Jim Riggleman said was an irregular heartbeat.“I’ve had some stuff go on,” Brice said. “I’ve had it checked out. It always comes up negative. It’s always like an electrolyte imbalance.”“Last night I was told around 1 (a.m.) I’m coming up. I didn’t get much sleep driving here from Columbus. I was pretty jacked up in the moment. It kind of sped up on me. My blood pressure went out the roof. It was pretty crazy,” he said.Milwaukee has homered in 22 straight games at Great American Ball Park streak. It’s the longest streak by any team at the stadium, including the Reds.Joakim Soria (1-0) allowed a hit with two strikeouts in a scoreless 10th to get the win. Josh Hader pitched the 11th for his 11th save.Milwaukee left-hander Wade Miley allowed two hits and a walk in six innings before the Reds broke through in the seventh on Phillip Ervin’s one-out single and Dilson Herrera’s two-out double into the left field corner. Ervin’s safe slide across the plate survived Milwaukee’s challenge.Miley finished with a season-high 7 1/3 innings, allowing five hits with one walk and six strikeouts.“We brought up a couple of guys, but our bullpen was still thin,” Miley said. “If knew if it was a tight game http://www.diamondbacksfanproshop.com/authentic-patrick-corbin-jersey , I was going to be stretched out as much as possible.”Cody Reed lasted 4 2/3 innings in his 12th appearance and second start of the season, his first start since April 9. The left-hander allowed one run on four hits and three walks with three strikeouts. He left after walking Yelich in the fifth with the bases loaded.I knew after the walk to Yelich my day was over,” Reed said. “I got Yelich out twice, but I got a little too fine with him. It is something to build off of, for sure.”CAREER HIGHCain singled in the fifth inning to extend his hitting streak to 12 games, a career high. He set his previous career high in 2015 for Kansas City.BULLPEN BOOSTNeeding bullpen help after two draining games, the Brewers recalled RHP Jacob Barnes and promoted RHP Aaron Brooks from Triple-A Colorado Springs before Thursday’s game. RHP Freddy Peralta and Taylor Williams were optioned to Colorado Springs and RHP Ariel Hernandez was designated for assignment.WELCOME SIGHTReds first baseman Joey Votto went 0 for 5 in his first game since Aug. 15. He’d been on disabled list with a bruised right knee.TRAINER’S ROOMBrewers: LHP Dan Jennings limped off the field with his arms around two trainers after rolling his left ankle helping catch speedy Billy Hamilton in a rundown in the eighth.Reds: 3B Eugenio Suarez was scratched from the original starting lineup with mid-back spasms, the Reds announced shortly before the scheduled first pitch.UP NEXTBrewers: Jhoulys Chacin (13-5) pitches at Washington on Friday. Milwaukee is 19-9 in his 28 starts.Reds: Homer Bailey (1-12) is 1-10 in 11 career starts at Busch Stadium going into Friday’s series opener at St. Louis. ST. LOUIS (AP) — Adam Wainwright had something to prove.Wainwright pitched two-hit ball over six innings for his first win in five months, Marcell Ozuna homered and the St. Louis Cardinals salvaged the finale of a four-game series with a 5-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday night.“You know what? Us old guys can still play Randy Johnson Jersey , can’t we? A little bit,” the 37-year-old Wainwright said. “The main thing for me tonight was to do what I did in my entire rehab performances. It was all about executing, making my pitches. That’s probably the deepest lineup I’ve ever faced.”The Cardinals snapped a season-high four-game losing streak and moved into a tie for the second National League wild card with the Dodgers, who slipped a half-game behind Colorado for the NL West lead.The Rockies visit Dodger Stadium for a three-game series beginning Monday night, the last regular-season meeting between the teams.Wainwright (2-3), making his second start since missing almost four months with right elbow inflammation, struck out a season-high nine while earning his first victory since April 16. His 101 pitches were his most since July 22, 2017.“We just had to come out and win today,” Wainwright said. “That team over there was riding some pretty good highs. They came in and just whooped us for three straight games and we really needed a big win before going to Atlanta.”Cardinals manager Mike Shildt had complete confidence in Wainwright pitching a game with playoff implications.“Clearly there’s some significance there http://www.diamondbacksfanproshop.com/authentic-a.-j.-pollock-jersey ,” Shildt said. “But that’s what guys like Adam Wainwright do. They step up. That’s what horses do and that’s what aces do and that’s what he’s been for a long time in this organization. He stepped up and it’s hard to beat a shutout.”Cardinals reliever Bud Norris left the game with a blister on his middle finger after walking the only batter he faced in the seventh. Jordan Hicks, pitching for the first time in a week, finished the inning and also worked the eighth. Carlos Martinez completed the four-hit shutout — one night after the Dodgers piled up 17 runs.“I thought that Wainwright was really good tonight,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “When any pitcher can throw his breaking ball at any point in time to get us — we are a fastball hitting team — he was doing it. He was spiking it and it had good bite and the fastball in on the lefty and the curveball off of that.”Ozuna homered to right-center to make it 1-0 in the second.Yairo Munoz sparked a two-run fourth, reaching first on a wild pitch after swinging and missing at strike three. Jedd Gyorko and Yadier Molina followed with RBI singles, chasing Dodgers starter Ross Stripling and giving the Cardinals a 3-0 lead.Ozuna singled and scored on third baseman Justin Turner’s fielding error in the sixth. Ozuna has a team-high 44 multihit games.“I was just trying to put the ball in play and the last couple of games I was struggling at the plate and I made some adjustments in batting practice and that led to success today in the game,” Ozuna said.Molina had a pair of singles and drove in another run in the eighth.Stripling (8-4) retired nine of his first 10 batters before running into trouble in the fourth. He went 3 1/3 innings, matching his shortest start of the season last Wednesday at Cincinnati.“I felt that I threw the ball better today than I did in Cincinnati,” Stripling said. “The Ozuna homer was really a good pitch down and away Yasmany Tomas Jersey , just kind of tip your cap on that one. I think the dropped third strike kind of changes the dynamic of the fourth and then three singles later, I kind of had some bad breaking balls and that was it.”TRAINER’S ROOMDodgers: LHP Tony Cingrani (left shoulder strain) and RHP John Axford (broken right leg) will be activated Monday.Cardinals: Norris was removed after throwing just seven pitches.UP NEXTDodgers: LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu (4-3, 2.42 ERA) starts Monday against Colorado RHP Jon Gray (11-7, 4.80). Ryu is 3-6 with a 5.77 ERA in nine career starts vs. the Rockies.Cardinals: RHP Miles Mikolas (15-4, 2.99 ERA) gets the opener of a three-game series in Atlanta against Braves RHP Mike Foltynewicz (11-9, 2.66 ERA) on Monday night. In his last outing, Mikolas became the first pitcher to win 15 games in his first season with St. Louis since Mark Mulder in 2005.
