The Cincinnati Reds defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 on Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park in dramatic fashion. With two outs in the ninth, TJ Friedl sealed the win by making a spectacular leaping catch at the wall to rob Jake Bauers of a game-tying home run—arguably the catch of the year. Hunter Greene delivered five strong innings, allowing just two earned runs to keep the Reds within striking distance. Cincinnati's offense came alive in the seventh, rallying to take the lead for the first time in 2025. The Reds will now look to clinch the series in tomorrow's rubber match.

The Cincinnati Reds fell to the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 on Monday night at Great American Ball Park. The Reds took an early 2-0 lead but couldn't extend it, as the Brewers answered back with three runs, capped by a solo home run from Christian Yelich in the third inning that gave them the lead for good. Reds starter Brady Singer went five innings, working around a long second frame, before handing things over to the bullpen. Cincinnati’s relievers delivered four shutout innings, but the offense couldn’t break through late.
