MILWAUKEE (AP) \u2014 Sal Stewart and Jose Trevino homered off Jacob Misiorowski, and Chase Burns pitched six strong innings as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-2 on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n
TJ Friedl also went deep for Cincinnati as the Reds beat the Brewers for the first time in seven attempts this season. Garrett Mitchell homered for Milwaukee.<\/p>\n
The game featured two of baseball\u2019s best and hardest-throwing pitchers in Burns and Misiorowski.<\/a> Burns (10-1) earned the win by giving up two runs and four hits. Burns is the only Reds pitcher since at least 1900 to open a season by allowing two runs or fewer in 15 of his first 17 starts. <\/p>\n Misiorowski (9-4) struck out 10 and walked none in five innings while reaching a peak velocity of 103.8 mph, but the five runs he allowed matched a career high. Only one of the runs was earned.<\/p>\n The most recent time Misiorowski allowed five runs came on Aug. 15 of last season, when he lasted only 1 1\/3 innings in a 10-8 victory<\/a> at Cincinnati.<\/p>\n Misiorowski had gone 8-1 with an 0.54 ERA over his last 10 starts.<\/a><\/p>\n Stewart put Cincinnati ahead for good in the first inning by hitting his 17th homer, a 402-foot solo shot<\/a> on a 102.3-mph fastball. According to MLB.com,<\/a> it was the eighth-fastest pitch to result in a homer since the pitch tracking era began in 2008.<\/p>\n Cincinnati extended its lead to 5-0 by scoring four unearned runs in the fourth inning.<\/p>\n JJ Bleday led off with a bunt and reached safely when first baseman Jake Bauers dropped the bare-handed throw from third baseman David Hamilton. Bleday scored on Noelvi Marte\u2019s one-out single.<\/p>\n The Reds had two on with two outs when Trevino stepped to the plate. Trevino fell behind 0-2 before working the count full and hitting his first homer<\/a> since June 8, 2025.<\/p>\n Trevino went 3 for 4 to improve his batting average from .192 to .232.<\/p>\n Cincinnati\u2019s Sam Moll, Tejay Antone and Brock Burke didn\u2019t allow a baserunner in three innings of relief.<\/p>\n Up next<\/p>\n Reds: Return home to face the Baltimore Orioles. Friday\u2019s scheduled starters are Cincinnati\u2019s Brady Singer (3-7, 5.12 ERA) and Baltimore\u2019s Trevor Rodgers (5-7, 4.99).<\/p>\n Brewers: Begin a season-high, 11-game trip at Arizona. Friday\u2019s starting pitchers are Milwaukee\u2019s Kyle Harrison (8-1, 2.57) and Arizona\u2019s Jos\u00e9 Cabrera (0-1, 3.60).<\/p>\n ___<\/p>\n
