MILWAUKEE (AP) — Freddy Peralta pitched six scoreless innings and matched a career high with 13 strikeouts, Tyrone Taylor hit a two-run homer and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Reds 3-0.
The Brewers took two of three games in the series and extended their lead in the NL Central to 1 1/2 games over the Reds.
This marked the final matchup of the season between the teams, with Milwaukee winning the season series 10-3.
After Abraham Toro singled with one out in the seventh off Cincinnati starter Ben Lively, Taylor followed with a 417-foot blast to left field on the first pitch from Lively to break a scoreless tie. It was just the second home run of the season for Taylor.
