Brewers defeat Reds 3-2, end Cincinnati's scoreless streak

The Cincinnati Reds ended a historic 35-inning scoreless streak in their recent game against the Milwaukee Brewers, despite losing 3-2. The streak tied for the fourth longest in team history, and the Reds had suffered three consecutive 1-0 losses prior to breaking the drought with two runs in the eighth inning. The Brewers' Brice Turang hit a two-run homer, contributing to their lead, while the Reds managed only a single hit until the seventh inning. Cincinnati played without first-year manager Terry Francona and several players who were ill, leading to bench coach Freddie Benavides taking over managerial duties. This series has highlighted the Reds' struggle, as their last shutout in three straight games occurred in 1931, making their recent performance particularly notable. The Reds aim to recover as they continue their series against the Brewers.
