Reds 7, Brewers 4
Jay Bruce hit two home runs and the Cincinnati Reds answered the Milwaukee Brewers with a big seventh inning en route to a 7-4 victory on Saturday.
Yonder Alonso had an RBI double and Corky Miller hit a two-run home run in the seventh for the Reds, who have posted 90 win for the first time since 1999.
Bruce belted a two-run homer in the third to open the scoring and added a solo shot in the fifth to put the Reds ahead, 4-1.
Milwaukee got back in the game with a three-run seventh, tying the game 4-4 on a three-run homer to deep left by Casey McGehee, his 23rd of the season. Alonso and Miller answered for Cincinnati in the home half of the frame and the Reds bullpen closed things out.
Homer Bailey gave up a run and six hits in five innings. Making a bid to be in the Reds' postseason rotation, Bailey struck out 10 and walked three but did not figure in the decision. Logan Ondrusek (5-0) retired two batters in the seventh and picked up the win.
Todd Coffey (2-4) allowed three runs and three hits in one inning and took the loss for the Brewers.
