Reds 10-8<\/a>.<\/p>\nMilwaukee looked to be in trouble again Saturday, but showed its resilience \u2014 for the second time in 24 hours \u2014 with the big blow being a pinch-hit, three-run homer in the 11th by Andrew Monasterio.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an amazing feeling,\u201d said Monasterio, who wears the No. 14. \u201cI wasn\u2019t ready for like 14 to 14. … That\u2019s amazing.\u201d <\/p>\n
Monasterio was seemingly prepped for his showstopping and streak-extending moment.<\/p>\n
\u201c(Manager) Pat Murphy asked me to be ready three or four times,\u201d the 28-year-old infielder said. \u201cThat was the fifth time he asked me to be ready during the game. He asked me in the seventh, \u2018Are you ready for a big moment?\u2019 I said, \u2018Of course, yeah.\u2019 But I didn\u2019t know it was going to happen like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Milwaukee starter Quinn Priester said his under-11-year-old team went 49-0 and called that fun.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut not as fun as this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Priester said the Brewers have been making the most of every chance provided by opponents.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve just been giving ourselves every opportunity, and then certainly when we get extra opportunities, we seem to take advantage every single time,\u201d he said. \u201cYou get your opportunity, it\u2019s time to go in and make a big swing, make a big pitch. When guys are getting their opportunities, we\u2019re not timid, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Brewers jumped to an early lead when Brice Turang doubled in a run in the second inning. The Reds got solo homers from Ke\u2019Bryan Hayes and Spencer Steer in the sixth for a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n
As it turned out, the Reds helped Milwaukee keep its winning streak alive as the Brewers scored on a throwing error by Cincinnati shortstop Elly De La Cruz in the ninth to tie the game at 2-all. And, the Brewers went ahead in the 10th when Anthony Seigler scored on an error by left fielder Jake Fraley.<\/p>\n
Cincinnati battled back in the bottom of the 10th and tied it at 3-all on an RBI double by Hayes.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, the Reds provided the Brewers with too many chances to continue their winning ways as Monasterio belted a three-run shot in the 11th \u2014 just his second of the season after his first on July 3 against the New York Mets.<\/p>\n
The Reds pushed back again in the bottom half, cutting the deficit with a sacrifice fly by Santiago Espinal and trimming their deficit to a run on Noelvi Marte\u2019s ninth homer of the year. <\/p>\n
But Milwaukee prevailed when reliever Nick Mears got Matt McLain to fly out to the warning track in right-center, ending the game and extending the streak.<\/p>\n
Milwaukee is now 34 games over .500 at 78-44 and boasts a nine-game lead in the NL Central over the Chicago Cubs. In the National League, the Brewers are eight games better than the East Division-leading Philadelphia Phillies (70-53).<\/p>\n
