Reds 4, Brewers 3 (10): Todd Frazier doubled in Chris Heisey from first base with two outs in the 10th inning as Cincinnati took three of four from visiting Milwaukee.

Sam LeCure (1-1) pitched a scoreless 10th on his 30th birthday to notch the victory in relief after starter Alfredo Simon allowed three runs and five hits over seven innings. Brandon Phillips had two hits, including a game-tying homer in the eighth inning, and Frazier drove in two runs to lead the Reds.

Brewers starter Kyle Lohse went 6 1/3 innings, yielding two runs and eight hits, but the bullpen was unable to protect the lead and get him his fifth victory. Khris Davis doubled and homered while Jonathan Lucroy had two hits and two walks for Milwaukee.

Phillips knotted the contest at 3-3 with his solo homer in the eighth off reliever Brandon Kintzler. The bullpen worked out of a two-on, two-out jam in the bottom of the ninth, but Tyler Thornburg (3-1) walked Heisey with two outs in the 10th before yielding Frazier’s double into the left-field corner.

Frazier lifted a sacrifice fly in the fourth that got Cincinnati within 3-2, but Lohse induced him to line into a double play with the bases loaded to end the sixth inning. After the veteran right-hander departed with runners on first and third and one out in the seventh, Will Smith struck out pinch hitter Jay Bruce on three pitches and got Skip Schumaker to line out to left to end the threat.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Bruce was scratched from the starting lineup with left knee soreness and replaced by Heisey. … Sunday marked the first time in the series a Cincinnati starting pitcher did not last at least eight innings. The Reds came into the day leading the majors in innings pitched by its starters at 198 2/3. … Brewers 3B Aramis Ramirez, who came in with one hit in his previous 32 at-bats, went 0-for-4 - including a double-play grounder after Lucroy walked on four pitches to lead off the ninth.
