StatPro MLB Beat Reporter
The Milwaukee Brewers continued their absolute mastery over the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday, cruising to a 9-1 victory that clinched their remarkable 12th consecutive series win against their NL Central rivals. It was an offensive explosion fueled by three home runs, showcasing the team's depth and power.
With their 9-1 victory, the Brewers have now won 12 consecutive series against the Reds and are 42-16 (.724) in their last 58 games against Cincinnati.
The bats came alive in Cincinnati as the Brewers put on a hitting display. Isaac Collins kicked things off with a bang, launching a three-run homer. Not to be outdone, rookie phenom Jackson Chourio smashed his 10th home run of the season, a two-run shot that further solidified his impressive campaign. Daz Cameron also joined the home run party, connecting for a two-run blast – his first since July 2024 – adding crucial insurance runs. This offensive barrage was too much for Reds starter Andrew Abbott, who entered the contest undefeated with a sparkling 0.55 ERA in May but suffered his first loss after allowing a season-high five runs. Even the return of veteran Wade Miley to the MLB, now with the Reds, was spoiled as he surrendered four earned runs in his two-inning debut.
Jackson Chourio continues to be a revelation in his rookie season. His two-run homer in the fifth inning off Andrew Abbott not only extended the Brewers' lead to 3-0 but also marked his 10th round-tripper of the year. The former No. 2 overall prospect is quickly becoming one of the most exciting young talents in Major League Baseball, consistently delivering key hits and showcasing his all-around skills.
It was a significant day for Daz Cameron, who broke a long home run drought with a powerful two-run shot in the sixth inning. His first homer since July 30, 2024, was a welcome sight and helped break the game open. Later, Isaac Collins capped the Brewers' scoring with a decisive three-run homer in the ninth inning off Wade Miley, his second of the season, putting the game well out of reach.
On the mound, the Brewers got a solid start from opener DL Hall, who tossed three scoreless innings to set the tone. Quinn Priester then came in and delivered an excellent performance, earning the win (3-2) by allowing just one run over five strong innings. Priester showed composure, notably escaping a bases-loaded jam in the third inning to keep the Reds' offense quiet.
The Brewers' dominance over the Reds is truly something to behold. Thursday's victory secured their 12th straight series win against Cincinnati. Looking at the bigger picture, Milwaukee is now an incredible 42-16 (.724) in their last 58 matchups against the Reds. This sustained success underscores their command in this NL Central rivalry.
What a statement win for the Crew! Dominant pitching, explosive offense, and another series win against a division rival. The Brewers are rolling. Next up, they head home to face the San Diego Padres, with right-hander Chad Patrick (3-4, 2.97 ERA) getting the ball for Friday's series opener. Let's keep this momentum going!
