The Milwaukee Brewers were able to wipe out a two-run Cincinnati lead Monday on the way to a 5-2 win. Starter Chase Anderson gave up a pair of homers in the second inning to put the Reds ahead. The crew got their scoring started in the bottom of the 5th, when Christian Yelich smacked his 20th home run of the season to cut the margin in half. Bob Uecker had the call….
Then Travis Shaw belted a homer with a man on base in the sixth moved Milwaukee back in front.
Anderson got his eighth win of the season and Jeremy Jeffress claimed his fifth save with a scoreless inning of work. Jeffress had a few words to say about Anderson’s performance.
Anderson called it a good confidence builder.
Junior Guerra goes for his seventh victory tonight against the Reds at Miller Park. Milwaukee remains in second place, three games behind the Chicago Cubs.
