Reds' bats lack jolt in nightcap vs. Brewers

The Reds, meanwhile, were dealt their first doubleheader sweep since Aug. 28, 2007, in Pittsburgh. It was Cincinnati's first doubleheader sweep at home since Aug. 17, 1990, when the Reds dropped two games to the Pirates at Riverfront Stadium.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED

Herrera homers again: Herrera hit more home runs in one day than he hit in his first three Major League seasons combined. The utility man hit a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning of Game 1 and a three-run insurance shot in Game 2 that extended a 4-2 Brewers lead to 7-2 and freed manager Craig Counsell from having to pitch closer Francisco Rodriguez for the second time in six hours.
