Cincinnati Reds' struggles vs. NL Central continued in series loss to Milwaukee Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers' run of dominance over the Cincinnati Reds continued for another series. The Brewers stretched their series winning streak over the Reds to 12 in a row when they took Wednesday's matinee at Great American Ball Park, 9-1. After taking Monday's series opener, the Brewers bounced back from Tuesday's loss in which the Reds enjoyed a win that featured a home-run robbery by outfielder T.J. Friedl that rivaled a walk-off win. Advertisement The Reds had just four hits in the game and starting pitcher Andrew Abbott was credited with his first loss of 2025 (5-1). He went six innings and allowed five runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts. Shortstop Elly De La Cruz dodges a wild pitch in the first inning against the Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday, June 4. De La Cruz was to return home to the Dominican after the game following the death of his sister and will miss the three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks beginning Friday, June 6. Brewers opener D.L. Hall held back the Reds for the first three innings. Then, Quinn Priester (3-2) went five innings and allowed two of the Reds' four hits, plus Cincinnati's only run. Nick Mears recorded the final three outs out of Milwaukee's bullpen. The series victory was Milwaukee's 13th out of 14 versus Cincinnati, as well as its 16th out of 18 against the Reds dating back to 2021. By game's end, the Reds (30-33) found themselves 9.5 games back of the National League Central-leading Chicago Cubs. Advertisement The series loss to the Brewers also underscored the Reds' struggles against NL Central opposition. In addition to losing two recent series to Chicago, Cincinnati has won just one series out of the seven it's played against the Brewers, Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates. The lone series win was a sweep of the Pirates at Great American Ball Park (April 11-13). Reds starter Andrew Abbott suffered his first loss of the season after allowing five runs in six innings of the 9-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday, June 4. All told, Cincinnati is 10-13 against the NL Central. Their only winning record within the division is against the last-place Pirates (4-2). If the NL Central is the Reds' most viable path to contention, its performances against divisional rivals aren't helping their cause. Advertisement After playing 12 of the last 15 games against NL Central foes, the Reds will turn away from head-to-head divisional play and welcome the NL West's Arizona Diamondbacks to Great American Ball Park for three games. Cincinnati's Nick Lodolo (4-4, 3.10 ERA), Nick Martinez (3-6, 3.89 ERA) and Brady Singer (6-4, 4.66 ERA) are the scheduled starters for the Reds on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The Diamondbacks' starters weren't confirmed as of Wednesday afternoon. Arizona entered its Wednesday game against the Atlanta Braves with a 29-31 mark. It is fourth in the West, trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers by 7.5 games. The Brewers opened the scoring on Wednesday. Abbott cruised through the first eight batters he faced, retiring them in order, but then allowed a two-out double to Brice Turang in the third inning. The next batter, Andruw Monasterio, singled to drive in Turang. Advertisement The Reds fired back in the bottom of the inning, loading the bases with one out, but they failed to score. Santiago Espinal lined out to second base and Elly De La Cruz was thrown out on a soft grounder to third base. Milwaukee tacked on in the fifth inning via Jackson Chourio's two-out, two-run homer to right field. The homer was Chourio's 10th of 2025. Matt McLain got the Reds on the scoreboard in the bottom of the inning. He grounded out, but Jose Trevino scored on the play. Milwaukee came back again via the long ball, though. Daz Cameron hit his first home run of the year following a Rhys Hoskins walk to put the Brewers up, 5-1. Advertisement Pitcher Wade Miley came on for the top of the eighth inning to make his 2025 debut appearance. Miley opted out of his Reds contract over the weekend to test free-agency, but quickly returned as Cincinnati announced Wednesday morning he'd signed a one-year major-league deal with the team. Miley wanted to explore the marketplace for starting pitching across the league, but the Reds developed an unexpected need for a starter when Hunter Greene re-injured his right groin and on Wednesday was placed on the 15-day injured list. A Wednesday MRI performed on Greene didn't reveal new information about the injury, according to the Reds. The first three batters against Miley reached to load the bases, and they added one insurance run against him. Two force-outs at home plate, plus a diving catch in left field by Will Benson, allowed Cincinnati to avoid further damage in the inning. Advertisement With Miley still on the mound in the ninth inning, the floodgates opened once and for all on Isaac Collins' three-run home run.

Carlos Prates questions UFC Kansas City performance – a reminder what losing feels like
Carlos Prates questions UFC Kansas City performance – a reminder what losing feels like Carlos Prates has been faced with a harsh reality coming out of his first loss in six years. At Saturday's UFC on ESPN 66, Prates (21-7 MMA, 4-1 UFC) was defeated by Ian Machado Garry (16-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC), who won by unanimous decision. The fight headlined the promotion's event at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Mo. "Guys, this is crazy," Prates wrote Monday on Instagram in Portuguese. "Six years without losing, I had forgotten how much it hurts, how it hurts the heart, the soul, more than any other part of the body, all day thinking 'what if I had caught the back,' 'what if I knocked it down,' what if I touched it more" … and so on. Time to go home, take care of the body and come back stronger than every other time. Despite everything, this week was awesome, we had some awesome days, lots of lessons and so on, I have nothing to complain about. Thanks to everyone who cheered, sent messages, my team, my crown, everyone involved in this journey. I can't wait to be back. THE NIGHTMARE HAS JUST BEGUN!" Prates, 31, had an 11-fight winning streak snapped. His previous defeat came in June 2019 vs. Gadjimurad Abdulaev at ONE Warrior Series 6. Prates made his UFC debut in February 2024 and defeated Trevin Giles, Charles Radtke, Li Jingliang, and Neil Magny by knockout prior to his first main event vs. Garry.

Fans React to Tigers' Tarik Skubal News After Brewers Game
The Detroit Tigers immediately rebounded from their series-finale 5-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Sunday by defeating the Milwaukee Brewers via a 9-1 score to start a three-game set at American Family Field in Milwaukee Monday night. Behind another sterling performance from reigning American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal and ample production from their offense, the Tigers were able to stymie Milwaukee, which has now dropped three consecutive games. Advertisement The 28-year-old Skubal pitched seven scoreless innings with nine strikeouts and zero walks on 91 pitches. He was at this top form in the contest, with the Brewers unable to get someone on the base until the fifth inning. With his strong performance, Skubal became just the first Detroit pitcher since the turn of the millennium to record seven scoreless frames with no free passes issued and nine punchouts on 91 or fewer pitches in a game, according to the Tigers' communication department. Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal throws a pitch against the Brewers at American Family Hanisch-Imagn Images That announcement from the Tigers sparked reactions online. 'GIVE THIS MAN THE CY YOUNG TROPHY ALREADY!!!!' commented a fan. Advertisement 'Retire #29,' chimed in a fan. From another commenter: 'Legendary' 'Give him a blank check,' said another X user. Via a different comment: 'WowJust wow……' Another post read: 'Skubs had a no no going into the 5th' After the game, Skubal opened up about his approach on the mound. 'I care about every inning,' Skubal said, per Ryan Herrera of 'I care about every inning getting zeros and getting our team back in ready to hit. I try not to let the score impact who I am. I'm pitching every game as if it's 0-0.' On the season, Skubal has a 2-2 record with a 2.66 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. With their win on Monday, the Tigers became the first team in the AL to notch 10 wins, and they will look to get their 11th of the season this Tuesday with Jack Flaherty expected to start against the Brewers.
