The Cincinnati Reds continued to hit home runs, but earned the winning run of their 4-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday at Great American Ball Park with speed instead of power. Here are the main storylines.
Box score: Reds 4, Brewers 3
Billy Hamilton’s speed helped the Reds take a late lead. The game was tied 3-3 entering the bottom of the eighth after left-hander Tony Cingrani surrendered a solo homer in the top of the inning. But then Hamilton drew a leadoff walk and wreaked havoc on Brewers reliever Corey Knebel.
