The Milwaukee Brewers let the fifth inning get away from them on Thursday but not the entire game, as they beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-3. Milwaukee jumped out to an early lead with an RBI infield single from Avisail Garcia that scored Luis Urias in the bottom of the first inning. Jace Peterson later drew a walk which scored Willy Adames. The Reds scored three runs in the top of the fifth inning, two coming off of wild pitches.
After the Reds took the lead, Keston Hiura erased it for them with a double that scored Omar Narvaez. Avisail Garcia had his second RBI and hit of the day and first home run of the night in the eight inning, as he brought in Narvaez for his second run of the night. The Brewers held onto the 5-3 lead until the end of the game.
With the win, Milwaukee moves to 53-36 on the season and will play the Reds again on Friday on YouTube TV at 7:10 PM.
