Christian Yelich hit for the cycle and went six-for-six as the Milwaukee Brewers outscored Cincinnati 13-12 Wednesday.
Audio PlayerAn R-B-I single by Erik Kratz drove in what would prove to be the winning run in the top of the 10th inning, shortly after Jesus Aguilar had put the Brew Crew ahead with his 30th home run.
Audio PlayerCincinnati led by five runs, 9-4, at one point, but no lead was safe for either team. Yelich is eight-for-11 with three homers and eight R-B-Is in the first two games of the series. Jeremy Jeffress picked up the win in relief. Manager Craig Counsell called the game strange, but expects more like it to come.
Audio PlayerHe also commented on the status of Manny Pina after he was struck in the face by a pitch.
Audio PlayerAll Star pitcher Josh Hader had an unusually bad outing, giving up four runs.
Audio PlayerWade Miley starts for Milwaukee today in the series finale. He has never lost at Great American Ball Park after four decisions.
