CINCINNATI (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers opened a two-game lead over Cincinnati in the NL Central, overcoming a two-run deficit to beat the Reds for the fifth time in a six-game stretch, a 4-3 victory behind rookie Andruw Monasterio’s tiebreaking single in a two-run eighth inning. After taking two of three at home on the weekend before the All-Star break, the Brewers swept three games at the Reds. Milwaukee has a two-game lead for the first time since before play on May 25. Christian Yelich hit his 14th home run in the third and cut Milwaukee’s deficit to 3-2 with an RBI single.
