Overview
- Brandon Sproat carried a no-hit bid into the sixth inning and struck out a career-high 10 batters in a six-inning, one-hit outing that helped the Brewers beat the Reds 2-0.
- The Brewers’ bullpen of Aaron Ashby, Abner Uribe and Trevor Megill closed out a combined two-hit shutout that extended Milwaukee’s recent hot stretch and series control in Cincinnati.
- Reds starter Nick Lodolo was hit on his left wrist by a Jackson Chourio comebacker during the fourth inning, left after four scoreless innings, and was diagnosed with a left wrist contusion with X-rays reported negative.
- Julian Garcia made his Major League debut when he relieved Lodolo and was charged with the loss, and shortstop Elly De La Cruz returned from the injured list and went 0-for-3 in his first game back.
- Sproat’s outing and the Brewers’ back-to-back dominant starts deepen Milwaukee’s rotation depth, and the Reds face short-term roster and rotation planning questions if Lodolo’s wrist swelling delays his next turn.
