On June 2, 2025, the Milwaukee Brewers edged out the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 in Game 1 of their series at Great American Ball Park, extending their winning streak to eight games, the longest since August 2023. The Brewers' victory was powered by Christian Yelich's heroics and a resilient pitching effort, while the Reds struggled to capitalize on early momentum. Yelich, fresh off being named National League Player of the Week, delivered the decisive blow with a 417-foot solo home run in the third inning off Reds starter Brady Singer (6-4, 4.60 ERA). The full-count slider, crushed to straightaway center, gave Milwaukee a 3-2 lead they wouldn't relinquish. Yelich's hot streak continued, as he's now batting .450 over a nine-game hitting streak, with six homers and 14 RBIs. Sal Frelick also contributed, going 2-for-4, bolstering the Brewers' offense. The Reds struck first, scoring two runs in the opening inning against Brewers starter Aaron Civale (1-1, 6.00 ERA). However, Civale settled down, pitching 5 1/3 innings, allowing just those two runs while striking out five. His recovery was critical, especially after missing nearly two months with a strained left hamstring. The Brewers' bullpen, a strength all season, sealed the deal. Rob Zastryzny, acquired from the Yankees in May, was pivotal in the sixth, striking out Jose Trevino and inducing a groundout from Santiago Espinal with runners on base. Trevor Megill closed the game with a perfect ninth, earning his 12th save in 13 chances. For Cincinnati, the loss highlighted ongoing offensive struggles. Despite the early lead, the Reds managed only a few hits after the first, with Singer's six innings undermined by Yelich's homer. The Reds' inability to convert opportunities, like the sixth-inning threat, underscored their 29-31 record and inconsistent play at home (14-14). The game, played before a lively Cincinnati crowd with temperatures at 76°F, showcased Milwaukee's depth and resilience. With Freddy Peralta (5-3, 2.77 ERA) set to face Hunter Greene (4-3, 2.63 ERA) in Game 2, the Brewers aim to keep their streak alive. Meanwhile, the Reds, desperate to snap out of their funk, face an uphill battle in this series.

The Tampa Bay Rays lost the third game of a three-game series against the reigning World Series champions, Texas Rangers 4-1 and lost the series. Aaron Civale was impressive on Wednesday afternoon allowing only 4 hits, 1 run (a Corey Seager solo shot in the 6th inning) and 8 strikeouts over 6 innings pitched. Yandy Díaz, Harold Ramírez and Curtis Mead contributed with hits but it wasn't enough as Nate Eovaldi threw 7 shutout innings allowing 4 hits. A late rally would not prove fruitful for the Rays after the Rangers rallied in the 9th scoring 3 runs off lefty reliever Garret Cleavinger.Follow Kevin Weiss @KevinWeiss_Follow Ulises Sambrano @SambranoUlisesFollow the show @LockedOnRaysFollow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…
