Joey Ortiz's three-run homer in the fifth inning was the pivotal moment in the Milwaukee Brewers' 3-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. This home run, Ortiz's first since May 17, accounted for all of Milwaukee's runs in the game. Bryse Wilson, who came in as the bulk pitcher, allowed only three hits and struck out six over 5 1/3 innings, with Bryan Hudson and Trevor Megill securing the win in relief. Despite Cincinnati's recent strong performance, the Reds fell short in this game, missing a chance to return to a .500 record. Elly De La Cruz's 35th stolen base and Jeimer Candelario's RBI double were the Reds' highlights. Ortiz had recently returned to the lineup after missing games due to a hamstring injury.
