Reds avoid sweep

The Cincinnati Reds defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3, snapping the Brewers' five-game winning streak and avoiding a series sweep. Santiago Espinal played a crucial role, hitting two RBIs and scoring the go-ahead run in the seventh inning. Despite the loss, Milwaukee's Joey Ortiz contributed with a two-run homer, while DL Hall made his return from injury and recorded a career-high nine strikeouts. The Reds managed to tie the game earlier with Espinal's two-run single in the fourth, and Tyler Stephenson's homer in the fifth helped secure their victory. The Brewers faced challenges in the later innings, hitting into double plays and experiencing an ejection of William Contreras. This win marked just the Reds' 12th victory against the Brewers in their last 47 encounters.
