Outfielder Franmil Reyes popped his 20th home run of the season with two men on to give San Diego an 8-7 win over the Brewers Wednesday afternoon. That completed a sweep of the three-game series for the Padres and sent Milwaukee home with six losses in the eight-game road trip. Jeremy Jeffress gave up the deciding blast in the bottom of the seventh inning. The homer by Reyes came shortly after Yasmani Grandal had put the Brewers ahead in the top of the seventh with his own three-run shot. Milwaukee opens a four-game series against Cincinnati at home tonight with right-hander Jimmy Nelson scheduled to start. Cincinnati has been red hot as of late, having just completed a sweep of the Houston Astros, and are on a four game winning streak. First Pitch is scheduled for 7:10 at Miller Park, which pregame coverage on 1240 AM WOMT beginning at 6:35 PM.
