Lorenzen's slam caps Reds' comeback over Brewers
Michael Lorenzen, a reliever for the Reds used as a pinch hitter, swatted a grand slam to cap an eight-run seventh inning as host Cincinnati rallied to beat the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday afternoon.
Lorenzen's third home run of the season came against Jacob Barnes, the Brewers' fourth pitcher of the day, and made a winner of Reds reliever Daniel Hernandez (3-0), who worked a scored seventh inning before Cincinnati's offensive uprising.
The loss was pinned on Brewers reliever Mike Zagurski (0-1), who didn't get anybody out in the seventh inning. He allowed two walks and two hits, with all four baserunners scoring.
The Reds finished with 15 hits, including three from Scooter Gennett, who also scored three runs. Adam Duvall had two hits, drove in three runs and scored two runs for the Reds, and Eugenio Suarez had two hits as well.
The Brewers finished with five hits, including Eric Thames' 11th home run of the season, a solo shot off Reds starter Tyler Mahle in the first inning.
