DeSclafani shuts down Reds behind power surge

After Brayan Pena put the Reds on the board with a sacrifice fly, Cozart punished a 1-2 Peralta pitch for a 4-0 lead. An inning later, the count was even, 1-1, when Votto took Peralta deep to make it 6-0.

While Peralta surrendered six earned runs on eight hits and three walks in seven innings, DeSclafani allowed only two hits in a career-high eight scoreless innings. Over his last two starts, he's scattered four hits in 15 innings without allowing a run. The 25-year-old already has three quality starts this season, one more than the Brewers have as a team.
