the Valley Sports family was shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of Blue Jackets hockey player Johnny gdo and his brother Matthew we extend all of us here extend our deepest sympathies to the Gad family during this time and to the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets game one about to get underway the Reds match up with the Brewers the makeup of a rain out from back in April the last time that the Reds saw the Brewers Nick Martinez made a start in Milwaukee he was excellent Brewers a season High tying 21 games above 500 they're part of a three- team Race for two first round Buys in the National League as things shape up right now Jackson Cho steps into the boxing right to Ellie J L Cruz and Jackson Cho is out number one weak wave and a miss there is that pure change up from Nick Martinez feel like Nick really does a nice job of keeping these hitters off balance up the middle backhand India against the Green nice play m contaras a nice play by the red second baseman close out a one two three Brewers first we go to the bottom of the first inning Brewers nothing Red's coming up 26th appearance for Colin Ray he's been pitching awesome the previous six starts been punching out tons of hitters 25% strikeout rate in these last six where it was 177% in his first 18 Starts Now Ellie dor Cruz will stride to the plate top right side backand by Hoskins pitcher cover foot race and the ball lost by Ray pitcher covering B Cruz widely turns to his right as he arcs back to first base yeah you can see ree Hoskins went all the way over to second base that's easily the second baseman's ball Ray just drops it you can see him look vincer Seer standing in he goes again and this is sent to right South fre coming on that falls in D Cru took a peak shuts it down at third freck throws towards second shaped up by monasterio base hit for steer out of the corners Reds have Runners at the corners with only one out and here's last night's TJ frel sharple picked by Hoskins fire to Second relay to First safe De La Cruz scores fle beats it out Red's take a one- nothing lead well Hoskins makes a really good play right here and this is just about just hustle freedo running through the base just beating the double play so fredel has now gone 9910 consecutive plate appearances without grounding into a double play France a Fly ball to right ball is traveling but Frick will make the catch at the warning track Ray survives the first but the Reds get a run Willie Adamas leads off against Nick Martinez and he sends that one way back Willie adamus going to watch this one fly into the Shadows of the bleachers and adamus quickly ties the game at w a piece make it number 25 for Adamas give him 89 RB's oh he turned on this 0 one pitch down and in Willie adamis so quick down and in right there and just drives a line drive out of here here that got out of here quickly 101 mph that's going to get out of here for sure at this ballpark sent sharply to India double play ball flick to De La Cruz the calm stride across the bag and the Red's turn two Thomas goes deep ties the game and now here's Santiago espanol oh first pitch cross Jeep left Center espol stays hot the best average in baseball among qualified men over a nearly two Monon span he is playing day and make it a pay he launches his ninth for a 2-1 lead he did not give you any time to put that out there yeah he's he's aggressive that's called ambushing a pitch he's looking for that ball he got it and did not miss it at all two on two out and now Ellie Ellie can come up with a big hit here it could give Nick Martinez a little bit of breathing room Runners off that is set pass monio Bas Benson around third he scores fre fires to AAS second of the thirdd Alli D La Cruz with a Ry single 31 Cincinnati and that's why you don't steal and let him swing the B blisters that ground ball pass to monasterio he takes off conteras throws through and they got him a rare throw out of Ellie De La Cruz he's been running wild on the Brewers all year the reds are taking a look at the video here and no challenge now it's Jackson Cho for a second time drills this one to Center off the glove and fredel takes a hard crash into the wall Cheerio stops at second and you hope friedel's all right well you know good and well you're going to get this allout effort from TJ Fredo just Reckless abandon goes out there and tries to do whatever he needs to do certainly appreciated by his teammate now Hoskins launches one to Center fredel seems to have it red up against the wall reaches up and makes the grab TJ Fredo a huge play to in the inning TJ Fredo just doing what he does getting back to that wall scaling it and really appreciate it there comes contras lead off against Nick Martinez and that Ball's crushed into right center field conteras will watch this one fly William contras with some opposite field Thunder three to2 Reds as contras with number 19 one of the hottest hitters in all of baseball William conteras to the opposite field on a 1-1 fast ball now right down the middle do not make mistakes right now against William conteras cuz he will do this after the home run by conteras it went single and then double the Damas at third Mitchell at second but now they're there with two out and it's up to Sal Frick and a liner in the center of B head that's going to bring in two sou fre continues the two out theme for the brewers brewers take the lead on a freeli two RBI single with two outs in the fourth oh South freeli picking up Gary Sanchez and Joey Ortiz third time throw against Martinez as Cheerio stands in to ell De La Cruz on the backand snaps off the throw that's a speedy Runner and DB Cruz cut him down and cherio went all the way through and he's now limping visibly on the warning track I think cherio may have rolled his ankle on first base you don't want to see that for sure unbelievable play that's not good keep a close eye here on Cheerio that's Scott baringer the Brewers athletic trainer out could tell he was hobbled quick this is troublesome here he has a long walk back to the Dugout as well well at least he's a little more mobile now kind of on his own power well great sign here folks Jackson cherio We were watching him he actually started running back and forth in The Dugout and he's back on the field so went down must have gotten a quick ret tape or something good to be 20 years of age huh and the top of the order for the Reds Jonathan India to leite things off smack down the left field line f ball 13th Homer for Jonathan India a rocking ride by the lead off hitter and the Reds draw back even well we talked about how Colin Ray in this pitching staff was trying to exploit a perceived hole in Jonathan India's swing U pyoms will get the ball here trying to keep the line moving and get the Brewers back to the Dugout tide here's De La Cruz fairly well hit to Right Center freck just gets it on the backand DAV Cruz up to second base a standing double and he takes off for third as the ball got lost and he slides in safely throwers unable to cleanly get it in and D La Cruz now stands 90 ft away swung on and missed back to the fast ball and yoel pyoms strong effort there in the seventh so now the batter is going to be S freck they're on the corners with nobody out in a 4 to four ball game and a bouncing ball Reds are going to go for two and they will get two but a run scores the Brewers Take the Lead no RBI for freeli Brewers lead the game five to four here in the 10th inning and dein Williams is on to try to save it now well fredle is at first India now at third base and Ty France will step to the plate France in the air right field slicing over his freeli and he's got it and that's the ball game what a weapon to have Devin Williams he closes the door with the automatic runner in second strands two and the Brewers win the opener of this double header
