The Cincinnati Reds secured a thrilling 4-2 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers, showcasing their late-inning prowess. A pivotal seventh-inning sacrifice fly from Connor Joe allowed Jake Fraley to cross home plate, providing the Reds with a crucial lead. A solo home run by Will Benson in the eighth added insurance. Reliever Emilio Pagan clinched his 15th save of the season, despite a scare when a potential game-tying home run was snatched away by T.J. Friedl's fantastic catch.

The Brewers had initially taken the lead, with Brice Turang scoring on a Christian Yelich single in the first. Sal Frelick's subsequent solo shot in the fourth gave Milwaukee a 2-1 advantage. However, Tyler Stephenson's opposite-field home run tied the game before the Reds rallied. The victory puts the Reds in a strong position to end the Brewers' streak of 11 consecutive series wins over them.
