Reds hit 3 home runs and hold on for 5-3 victory over Brewers
Matt McLain’s leadoff homer in the seventh broke a tie, and Emilio Pagán earned his 21st save in 24 chances.
- On Saturday, Matt McLain hit a tie-breaking solo home run in the seventh inning to lift the Cincinnati Reds past the Milwaukee Brewers 5-3 at Great American Ball Park.

- Tyler Stephenson added his 15th home run to open the sixth, while Eugenio scored from second base on a wild pitch in the eighth as Cincinnati's bullpen allowed just one run over five innings.
- Reds closer Emilio Pagan earned his 21st save of the season, escaping a bases-loaded jam in the ninth when Luis Lara popped out and Contreras flied out to end the game.
- The Reds, now 68-74, host the major league-leading Brewers on Sunday, with Reds RHP Brady Singer facing Brewers LHP Kyle Harrison in the series finale.
