Joey Ortiz hit a three-run homer, Bryse Wilson gave up three hits in 5 1/3 innings and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-1 on Saturday.
The Reds, who had won nine of 11 games, dropped to 34-36 and missed a chance to climb back to .500 for the first time since they were 16-16 on May 3.
“I think the Orioles messed up,” Wilson said of the trade with Baltimore that brought Ortiz along with left-handed pitcheron Feb. 1. “I'm not going to lie. Obviously they get Corbin, but that's a generational player right there. He hits. He plays. He leads the defense. What's not to like?” Jared Koenig opened for Milwaukee and pitched to three batters before Wilson took the mound with a runner at first. Wilson walked two and struck out six. The Brewers' defense helped out with two double plays.“It definitely helps not having to see them three times," the right-hander said of skipping the first three left-handed batters for Cincinnati."It works.”“That was impressive to shut this team out ,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. “They're hot. And, they're good.
Cincinnati played errorless baseball after committing five errors, including three by De La Cruz, during their 6-5 win Friday night. Rapper and record producer Snoop Dogg tossed out the ceremonial first pitch. He also hobnobbed in the Brewers' clubhouse and later with team personnel and broadcasters.
