The Milwaukee Brewers overcame a 5-2 deficit in the 8th inning and knocked off the Cincinnati Reds 6-5 at Miller Park on Sunday.

The Brewers scored 5-runs in the final three innings and Sean Halton clubbed a 1-out, walk-off home run in the bottom of the 9th to win it for the Brewers.

The Reds jumped out to a 3-0 lead off of Yovani Gallardo in the first inning.  Gallardo gave up a pair of hits and walked three in the frame.

Todd Frazier’s run scoring single in the 3rd made it 4-0 and then a solo homer t lead off the sixth by Frazier made it 5-1 Cincinnati.

The Brewers started their come-back in the 8th when Jean Segura drove in a pair of runs with a triple.  Jonathan Lucroy tied it at five with a sacrifice fly and Halton won it in the 9th with his home run.

The Brewers took 2 out of 3 in the series.  The Reds fell 3 1/2 games behind the front running Pirates and Cardinals.  Cincinnati is 4 1/2 games in front of Washington with the Nationals pushing for the final wildcard spot in the National League.

The Brewers continue their final home stand tonight with the first of a 4-game series against the Chicago Cubs.  Wily Peralta (9-15, 4.49) pitches for the Brewers.  He faces Chicago’s Edwin Jackson (8-14, 4.76).

After 15 starts at Triple-A Nashville, Tyler Thornburg was 0-9 with a 5.79 era.  Last night, Thornburg was making his fifth start since being called up by the Milwaukee Brewers and he beat the Cardinals 5-3.

Thornburg went 6 solid innings, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits, improving to 2-1 with a 1.50 era.  He’s allowed just 5 runs in 30 innings of work in Milwaukee.

His teammate in Nashville and now in Milwaukee, Sean Halton, drove in three runs with a rbi single and a two-run homer.

The loss for the Cardinals dropped them into a first-place tie with the Cardinals atop the NL Central.

The Brewers return home to open a 10-game home stand.  They’ll play the Cincinnati Reds in the first of a three-game series tonight.  Kyle Lohse (9-9, 3.59) pitches for Milwaukee.  Cincinnati sends Mat Latos (14-5, 3.02) to the mound.

Hellweg struggles again as Brewers fall to Cincinnati (AUDIO)

By

The much anticipated debut of Brewers pitcher Johnny Hellweg has not gone the way anyone would have hoped.  Making his third start for Milwaukee Wednesday, Hellweg was roughed up again as the Brewers fell to Cincinnati 6-2.

Hellweg lasted 4 1/3 innings allowing 4-runs on 4-hits while walking 5 as he fell to 0-3 for the season.  After his three starts with the Brewers, Hellweg’s ERA sits just under 11.  Because of his struggles, the team optioned him to the minors after Wednesday’s game…

The Milwaukee Brewers won their cactus league game yesterday, a 6-1 victory over

the Los Angeles Angels.  Rickie Weeks, Aramis Ramirez and Sean Halton all homered in the Brewers’ victory.

Right-hander Wily Peralta was solid in his 3rd start.  Peralta pitched 6-innings, allowing just 1-run while striking out 2.

Peralta hit Angels first baseman Albert Pujols with a pitch in the 1st inning.  The ball deflected and hit home plate umpire Seth Buckminster, breaking his hand.

While the umpires were changing out equipment, the game moved on with Tim McClelland calling pitches from behind the mound.  That scenario lasted for four batters before the umpires were able to return to a 3-man crew.

The Brewers are back at it today, facing the San Francisco Giants in Scottsdale.  Chris Narveson will make the start for the Brewers.
