Catcher Yasmani Grandal knocked in the tying and go-ahead runs with a fifth-inning single as the Milwaukee Brewers salvaged the last game of a series against Cincinnati 5-4. Ryan Braun and Keston Hiura had home runs as the Brewers ended a five-game losing streak in games against the Reds. Lorenzo Cain appears to be finding his offensive stride again, as he went 2-4 at the plate. Matt Albers got the win in relief, after five other pitchers got Milwaukee to the ninth. The Crew will take today off, before Gio Gonzalez starts the first game of a series with the Chicago Cubs Friday night. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 at Wrigley Field.
