Peraza homers as Reds drop opener to Crew
Jose Peraza gives the Reds a 3-1 lead with a three-run homer to left-center field in the top of the 5th inningIn the decisive seventh, Scooter Gennett took a four-pitch walk with the bases loaded from Reds reliever Tony Cingrani to tie the game at -- you guessed it -- 3-3. Ryan Braun then greeted Blake Wood with a two-run single that put Milwaukee on top for good.
The Brewers won for the sixth time in nine games and improved to 13-8 in September. The Reds scored in the ninth against Brewers closer Tyler Thornburg to make it a one-run game, but dropped their four straight and eighth in their last nine.
