In a thrilling game marred by rain, the Milwaukee Brewers emerged victorious with a 7-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night. Christian Yelich’s two-run homer and Wade Miley’s impressive return from the injured list were the highlights of the game.
Miley, who started the season on the injured list due to shoulder pain, made a strong comeback by pitching four innings of one-hit ball. Despite being limited to 52 pitches, Miley only allowed a run and a hit, showcasing his skill and determination on the mound.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy praised Miley’s performance, stating that he provided a much-needed lift to the team. Bryse Wilson also contributed to the win by pitching three solid innings to secure the victory.
Offensively, Blake Perkins and William Conteras played key roles in Milwaukee’s success, with Yelich adding to his impressive RBI total for the series. Reds starter Hunter Greene struggled, giving up six earned runs and two crucial homers to Yelich and Perkins.
Despite the loss, Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz stood out with a solo homer that left the bat at an impressive 110.4 mph. The game was initially delayed due to heavy rain, but both teams battled through the conditions to deliver an exciting matchup.
Looking ahead, the Reds will aim to even the series in the final game against the Brewers, with Nick Martinez set to face Freddy Peralta on Thursday. The stage is set for another thrilling showdown between these two competitive teams.
