Fiers improved to 6-4 with the win, lowering his ERA to 1.80.  He ended up allowing 1-run on 3-hits while striking out 7 and walking nobody.

Aramis Ramirez clubbed a 2-run home run off of Reds starter Johnny Queto and Brewers rookie Jim Henderson pitched the 9th for his first save.

The Brewers captured the first two games in the series.  They’ll shoot for the sweep this afternoon at Miller Park.
