MILWAUKEE (AP) \u2014 Joey Ortiz<\/a> had a two-run homer with two outs in the eighth inning to give the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> a 5-3 comeback victory over the Cincinnati Reds<\/a> on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Held to one hit through five innings by Nick Lodolo<\/a>, the Brewers tied it against Chase Petty<\/a> with two runs in the sixth and Brice Turang<\/a>\u2019s solo homer, his 12th, in the seventh.<\/p>\n

Sal Frelick<\/a> singled with one out in the eighth off Sam Moll<\/a> (1-6) and advanced on a sacrifice. Tejay Antone<\/a> relieved and Ortiz sent a 1-1 pitch 412 feet to center for his second homer.<\/p>\n

Aaron Ashby<\/a> (11-1) tossed a scoreless eighth for his major league-leading 11th victory, and Trevor Megill<\/a> finished with a perfect ninth for his 11th save in 13 opportunities.<\/p>\n

Elly De La Cruz<\/a>, activated off the injured list June 23 after almost three weeks with a strained right hamstring, put the Reds in front 3-0 in the fifth with his 13th homer, a two-run shot off Robert Gasser<\/a> in his sixth game since returning.<\/p>\n

Edwin Arroyo<\/a> singled with one out and De La Cruz followed with his first homer since May 23, sending the first pitch 412 feet to left-center.<\/p>\n

The Brewers scored twice in the sixth off Petty, who relieved to start the inning. Andrew Vaughn<\/a> doubled with one out and Christian Yelich<\/a> walked. Jake Bauers<\/a> followed with a pinch-hit RBI single, sending Yelich to third. Yelich scored on a wild pitch.<\/p>\n

Reds centerfielder Dane Myers<\/a> was removed from the field on a cart in the fourth inning after crashing into the outfield wall on a running backhanded grab on Vaughn\u2019s leadoff drive.<\/p>\n

Myers\u2019 RBI double in the first staked the Reds to a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

RHP Brandon Sproat<\/a> (2-4, 5.43) starts for the Brewers Tuesday, while RHP Rhett Lowder<\/a> (3-5, 4.81) starts for the Reds.<\/p>\n
