Cincinnati Reds 4–3 Milwaukee Brewers: match recap

Match recap

Eugenio Suárez's eighth-inning three-run homer erased a one-run deficit and carried the Reds to a 4-3 comeback win in Milwaukee, despite the Brewers' home run edge and a strong start from Robert Gasser.

Chase Burns battled through three innings, allowing two runs on two hits while striking out five, but the Brewers took a 2-1 lead on solo shots from Joey Ortiz and Jake Bauers. Robert Gasser dealt five innings of one-run ball, scattering three hits and striking out five. In the eighth, Antonio Senzatela couldn't hold the line — Suárez jumped on a pitch and delivered a three-run homer to flip the game, while Brandon Williamson and Brock Burke combined for four scoreless relief frames to seal it.

Key factors

• Eugenio Suárez's go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth inning.
• Reds' bullpen dominance — Williamson and Burke combined for 4 IP, 0 ER, 3 K.

The Analyst's verdict

Cincinnati's ability to capitalize on a single mistake late — despite being outhomered and playing on the road — shows a team that knows how to win close games. Milwaukee's offense goes as its power goes, and when solo shots aren't backed by sustained pressure, the bullpen becomes the difference.
