Brewers Sweep Doubleheader

The Brewers were able to sweep the doubleheader on Friday and they went out with a bang The Brewers scored 10 runs in the top of the 9th in the second game and that was enough for the victory. Rhys Hoskins and Willy Adames both hit a home run and drove in three RBIs.

Adames has hit 26 home runs and driven in 92 RBIs. Getting the start for the Brewers will be Frankie Montas who sits with a 6-9 record and an ERA of 4.64. In his last start against the Oakland Athletics, he went six innings giving up five hits and four runs. 

How Do the Reds Bounce Back?

It was not a fun day on Friday for the Reds as they lost both games and they need to try and forget about that and move on quickly. The second game didn’t look as bad until the 9th inning when they gave up 10 runs. 

The Reds are averaging 4.5 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.32 runs per game. The offense is ranked 14th in the league while the pitching is ranked 14th. Elly De La Cruz is having a strong season for the Reds and he has hit 22 home runs and driven in 61 RBIs so far this season. The Reds will meet the Astros after this series.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

The Brewers have the momentum heading into this game, but that is going to stop here. Frankie Montas is on the mound for the Brewers and I don’t trust him. The Reds offense struggled on Friday but that isn’t going to be the case here. The Brewers offense also used up most of their offense on Friday and they are going to struggle with the bats here. Back the Reds on the money line to cash.
