Toto, we aren’t in St. Louis any more.
The Reds offense had scored four runs in four games. Tonight, they matched that in the sixth inning and added more on way to a 6-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers, snapping a four-game losing streak /waves tiny Reds pennant/.
The Good The fateful sixth began with a single by Joey Votto who was leading off. Todd Frazier followed with a walk. Jay Bruce, ignoring Marty Brennaman’s suggestion that he sacrifice his out with a bunt, singled sharply to center. After Brewers’ pitcher Wily Peralta recorded an out (more on that below), catcher Brayan Peña hit a sacrifice fly to deep center field, scoring Votto.
