Both Starter pitched well enough to win as Brewers Ace Yovani Gallardo (ND) 7 IP 8 H 2 R 2 ER 0 BB 3 SO and the Red Legs Mat Latos (W) 8 IP 4 H 2 R 2 ER 1 BB 3 SO were going at it. Gallardo left after seven in the book with the score tied at 2-2. Latos get the win as he pitched the 8th only for Cincy to bail him out in the bottom half of that inning.

It was Brewers Reliever Will Smith who gives up a game-winning Two-Run Bomb to the Red Legs OF Jay Bruce with @DatDudeBP dba Brandon Phillips on to give the Reds a 4-2 lead heading into the 9th. Red Legs Half Set-Up Man/ Half Captain Save-A-Game Jonathan Broxton than came in the 9th relieving Latos to get his 6th save of 2014.

The Red Legs move to 45-42 just six games behind the now 52-37 "Brew Crew". Sandwiched in between that is the 47-41 2nd place Redbirds and the 46-41 3rd place Buccos of the Burgh. Folks that is a four-team Pile Up in the NL Central and for the 2nd half "Prepare Yourselves" NL Central Fans for a photo finish!
