Eugenio Surez hits a 3-run homer to lift Reds past Brewers 4-3 and avoid a
winless road trip
By RICH ROVITO
Associated Press
MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Eugenio Surez hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning and
Tyler Stephenson had a sacrifice fly in the eighth as the Cincinnati Reds
slipped past the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 on Sunday.
After allowing 47 runs over a three-game stretch, Reds pitchers kept the best
team in the majors --- who clinched a playoff berth on Friday night and played
their regulars on Sunday --- mostly in check to salvage the series finale and
avoid a winless six-game road trip.
The Brewers, who scored 33 runs in the first two games of the series, jumped in
front 2-0 in the second on Joey Ortiz's ninth home run of the season, a
408-foot shot off Chase Burns.
Robert Gasser, making his 18th start of the season, limited the Reds for five
innings. He departed after surrendering a leadoff single to Elly De La Cruz in
the sixth. Antonio Senzatela came on and gave up a single to Sal Stewart before
being tagged by Surez for a three-run homer that gave Cincinnati a 3-2 lead.
Jake Bauers led off the seventh with his 26th homer of the season to tie it.
Stephenson's sacrifice fly in the eighth put the Reds in front 4-3.
Brandon Williamson (4-4) gave up one run and two hits in four innings of
relief. Emilio Pagn pitched a scoreless ninth to notch his 23rd save in 26
tries.
Burns gave up two hits and two runs in three innings while throwing 56 pitches.
It marked the second consecutive game in which he was lifted after three
innings as the team works to manage the 23-year-old right-handers remaining
workload.
