Reds snap eight game losing streak against Brewers

April 17, 2018 By Bill Scott

The Cincinnati Reds marched into Miller Park on Monday with the worst record in the majors at 2-13, riding a eight-game losing streak.  When the dust settled, the losing skid had come to an end as the Reds banged out 14-hits in a 10-4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Reds starting pitcher Luis Castillo had a 7.31 ERA in his first three starts, but he dominated Milwaukee hitters before departing in the seventh.  By that time, the game was out of reach after the Reds put a six-spot on the board in the sixth inning.

The Brewers first runs came in the 7th, from a relief pitcher at that as Jorge Lopez collected his first major league hit, a bases-loaded two run double.

The Brewers (8-9) dropped to 2-6 at home this season and have been outscored 48-20 in those games.

Lefty Brent Suter took the loss.  He got off to a slow start, allowing three runs in the second inning, but settled down to work five innings, allowing six hits and 3 runs.  Suter didn’t walk anybody and struck out four.

Lopez worked three innings of relief for the Brewers, allowing 2 hits and a run with three walks and two strikeouts.

It was Oliver Drake who gave up all six of the Reds runs in the sixth inning.  Oliver entered the game with a 1.13 ERA.  That number ballooned to 7.00 by the time he was done.

Castillo worked 6 2/3 innings for the Reds, allowing four runs on five hits with 3 walks and 8 strikeouts.

Game two of the series is tonight.  Junior Guerra (1-0, 1.69) pitches for the Brewers.  Sal Romano (0-1, 5.87) gets the start for the Reds.  First pitch time is set for 6:40 p.m.
