Brewers late comeback falls short

August 26, 2009 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers scored five runs in the 9th inning to force a 6-6 tie, then fell to the Cincinnati Reds 8-6 in 13-innings at Miller Park.

Joey Votto and Laynce Nix clubbed solo home runs off of Todd Coffey in the 13th to pull out the win for the Reds. 

The Brewers had a chance to win in the 9th, but Ryan Braun ran threw a stop sign at third base and was tossed out at the plate.
