Reds 9, Brewers 3

CINCINNATI (AP) — Robert Stephenson escaped threats while pitching into the seventh, and Scooter Gennett homered during Cincinnati’s five-run rally in the bottom of the inning, sending the Reds to a 9-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.

The last-place Reds have taken the first two games in the series from Milwaukee, which is trying to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2011.
