Cody Reed expected this back in April Billy Hamilton Jersey , but he had to wait until August for it to happen.Finally, the Cincinnati Reds are showing confidence in the left-hander, who was expected to be one of their four young starting pitchers this season but lasted only one start in that role.More Brewers coverageBrewers Final Pitch: Chacin dominates mound in Game 3 of NLCSChacin, Brewers blank Dodgers to take 2-1 lead in NLCSDespite struggles, No. 23 Badgers still have hope in Big TenStrong winds could be factor for Brewers, Dodgers in NLCS Game 3Photos of the Week: 10/7/18 – 10/13/18With the way runs are piling up in their series against the contending Milwaukee Brewers, the Reds probably could use a fresh arm on the mound.Reed (0-1, 3.68 ERA) appeared in four games, including one start, for Cincinnati in April, before being shipped back to make 17 starts at Triple-A Louisville. He rejoined the Reds earlier this month and has a 2.79 ERA in seven relief appearances.Now, Reed is getting the chance to start again and will take on Brewers left-hander Wade Miley (2-2, 2.32) in the final game of the three-game National League Central series Thursday at Great American Ball Park.Regardless of who is on the mound, look for some runs to be scored — there were a combined 41 runs scored in the first two games, starting with the Reds’ 9-7 victory Tuesday night.On Wednesday, Christian Yelich went 6-for-6 and hit for the cycle, and the Brewers overcame a four-run deficit to stay in the lead for the second NL wild-card berth with a 13-12 victory in 10 innings. Jesus Aguilar hit a long solo homer to center and Erik Kratz later added an RBI single in a two-run 10th, allowing Milwaukee to withstand Brandon Dixon’s solo homer in the bottom of the 10th.“It was one the craziest games I’ve ever been a part of Anthony DeSclafani Jersey ,” Yelich told Fox Sports Wisconsin. “I don’t know how to describe it, honestly. It was nuts. A lot of stuff happened I’ve never seen before in a baseball game.“It was huge for us; we needed that win. Credit to the guys for staying with it, battling and pulling it out. It was huge.”The Reds couldn’t win despite scoring four times against Brewers All-Star reliever Josh Hader and getting four homers, including reliever Michael Lorenzen’s three-run drive — his fourth of the season — and Eugenio Suarez’s two-run shot. Billy Hamilton of the Reds went 4-for-5 and Mike Moustakas of the Brewers was 4-for-6, and each homered.Yelich’s cycle — a single, double, triple and homer — was the second in the majors this season; Mookie Betts had one one for the Boston Red Sox on Aug. 9. But Yelich’s cycle was the first to be combined with a 6-for-6 performance since Ian Kinsler of the Texas Rangers did it in 2009.Milwaukee is 10-5 against Cincinnati this season.Now, it’s Reed’s turn to face the Brewers. Reed is 1-9 with the Reds over the last three seasons, making 12 starts, but was given the chance to start again after the team decided to move right-handers Sal Romano and Robert Stephenson to the bullpen.Reed liked how interim manager Jim Riggleman used him in several high-leverage situations following his Aug. 13 recall from Louisville, and he has pitched 4 1/3 scoreless innings in his last four appearances.Riggleman called on Reed to face Anthony Rizzo of the Chicago Cubs with one out and the bases loaded Friday, despite Rizzo being 2-for-6 against him with two home runs. Reed got Rizzo to ground into a double play, although the Cubs went on to win 3-2 in 10 innings.“I stuck my hand out (to Riggleman) and said, ‘I appreciate you calling on me in that moment because this time last year and in my first year in ’16, that never would have happened,’ ” Reed told the team’s website. “I think it makes me more confident that he’s confident bringing me into that situation. As soon as the phone was ringing when (Matt) Harvey got into that little jam, I was thinking, ‘Please be me.’“A definite confidence boost that the manager has the belief in you in that moment.”It doesn’t hurt that Reed is left-handed.“His last few starts in Louisville indicated he’s moving in the right direction http://www.redsfanproshop.com/authentic-adam-duvall-jersey ,” Riggleman said. “All things being equal, we’d like to have one left-hander in the rotation, at least. You’re not going to force that to happen. … Hopefully Cody would fit in there.”Reed is 0-1 with a 7.27 ERA in eight carrer appearances, including one start, against Cincinnati, and he has not allowed any runs over 2 2/3 innings in his four appearances against the Reds this season.Miley is 4-2 with a 3.42 ERA in eight career starts against Cincinnati, including a 3-1 win at Great American Ball Park on May 2. In that game, he gave up one run and three hits in six innings in his first start of the season. Miley missed more than a month with a groin injury sustained during spring training. SAN DIEGO (AP) — It’s business as usual for Freddy Galvis when he faces his former team.Galvis hit a grand slam, Travis Jankowski stole four bases and scored three times, and the San Diego Padres beat the Philadelphia Phillies 9-3 on Sunday.The 28-year-old Galvis spent his first six seasons with Philadelphia. He was traded to San Diego in December for right-hander Enyel De Los Santos.Galvis connected against Jake Arrieta in the third inning, hitting a two-out drive to center for his first career slam. It was his third homer in his last seven games and No. 8 on the season.“I just tried to concentrate a little bit when we have those kind of situations and try to do the best I can,” Galvis said. “Today, I got a big hit and I’m thankful for that.”Galvis is batting .455 with 10 hits, nine RBIs and four multihit games against Philadelphia this season, but he said he doesn’t do anything different when facing his former team.“I treat those guys like another team,” Galvis said. “I guess I’m a pro.”Last-place San Diego won for the fifth time in seven games, including two of three against NL East-leading Philadelphia. Joey Lucchesi (6-6) struck out six in six scoreless innings.“We’re playing better baseball, we’re doing what we are supposed to do Michael Lorenzen Jersey , we’re playing good defense, we’re pitching and were getting on base,” Galvis said.Arrieta (9-7) permitted five runs and eight hits in five innings in his first loss since June 26. The 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner was 4-0 with a 2.28 ERA in his previous seven starts.“The first three innings were just strange,” Arrieta said. “Couldn’t necessarily find it when I needed to.”Jankowski had two hits and walked twice. He became the eighth player in franchise history to steal at least four bases in a single game. Everth Cabrera was the last player to accomplish the feat for San Diego against San Francisco on Sept. 30, 2012.“He put pressure on them from the get-go,” Padres manager Andy Green said. “Teams feel that, and teams feel someone coming at them the way he was coming at them today.”Jankowski singled, swiped second and scored on Hunter Renfroe’s grounder in the first. He singled and stole second again in the third before scoring on Galvis’ homer.Jankowski also walked in the seventh and stole second and third. He scored on a throwing error by third baseman Maikel Franco, making it 6-0 Padres.Philadelphia rallied with three runs in the eighth, highlighted by consecutive RBI doubles for Nick Williams and Carlos Santana against Phil Maton.But San Diego responded with three in the bottom half. A.J. Ellis had a sacrifice fly, and Eric Hosmer drove in a run with a groundout.Padres reliever Kazuhisa Makita pitched a scoreless ninth after being recalled from Triple-A El Paso.WEIRD PLAYPadres catcher Austin Hedges was tagged out at home by Phillies shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera in the second. The play started with a pitch that got by Jorge Alfaro, who relayed to Arrieta at home. Arrieta threw to Cabrera at second base trying to catch Christian Villanueva, and Cabrera then chased down Hedges and applied the tag before he could dive into the plate.UP NEXTPhillies: Return home for a two-game series against Boston beginning Tuesday night. RHP Nick Pivetta (7-9, 4.51 ERA) is scheduled to face Boston’s Brian Johnson (3-3, 4.00 ERA).Padres: LHP Clayton Richard (7-10, 5.13 ERA) is scheduled to open a three-game home series against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night.
