The Milwaukee Brewers erased a two-run deficit and pulled away for a 10-7 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday, September 4, 2026, at Great American Ball Park. Brice Turang went 3-for-4 with three RBI and Cooper Pratt drove in four runs to power the Brewers offense, giving Milwaukee a three-run road win in a division matchup that required a genuine comeback to close out. With the Brewers trailing at some point and still finding a way to win in nine innings, this one had some real teeth to it.

Brewers Offense Breaks Through Against Cincinnati Bullpen

Milwaukee starter Shane Drohan gave the Brewers a shaky foundation, allowing six earned runs over four innings on five hits and two walks while striking out five. But the Brewers lineup kept working, and the real damage came when Cincinnati's bullpen entered the picture. Cooper Pratt was the story in the middle of the order, going 1-for-4 but making that hit count in a big way with four RBI — the kind of clutch production that flips games. Brice Turang was equally important, going 3-for-4 with three RBI and providing consistent pressure throughout the lineup. David Hamilton chipped in as well, going 2-for-5 with an RBI to keep the offense humming.

Chad Patrick Earns the Win, Trevor Megill Locks It Down

The pitching story belongs to the bullpen. After Drohan exited following four innings, Chad Patrick came on and delivered two scoreless innings — one hit allowed, two walks, one strikeout — and that steadiness in the fifth and sixth innings was exactly what Milwaukee needed while the offense was doing its work. Patrick earned the win. Antonio Senzatela gave up one earned run in his inning of work, but Aaron Ashby bounced back with a clean frame — two strikeouts, no hits, one walk. Then Trevor Megill slammed the door in the ninth, striking out all three batters he faced on a perfect inning to secure the save. Megill's ninth was as clean as it gets.

Reds Get Production but Cannot Hold the Lead

Cincinnati had its moments. Elly De La Cruz went 3-for-5 with an RBI, and Eugenio Suárez crushed a home run with three RBI while Matt McLain added a solo shot. Rhett Lowder took the loss after allowing six earned runs over four innings on six hits and four walks — the walk total hurt him, and Milwaukee made him pay. The Reds bullpen tried to keep Cincinnati in it, with Tejay Antone and Julian Garcia each throwing scoreless innings, but the damage was already done.

Turning Point

The Brewers entered this game facing a deficit, and the turn came when Milwaukee's middle-of-the-order bats — led by Pratt's four RBI — pushed through Cincinnati's pitching staff for enough runs to not just tie the game but build a cushion. Once Patrick settled things down on the mound and the Brewers grabbed the lead, Cincinnati never got it back. Megill's three-strikeout ninth was the exclamation point.
