I just got under it a little bit.Manager Bryan Price decided to bring in Ross Ohlendorf. The right-hander got Ryan Braun to pop up, earning his second save in four chances.I just thought, 26 pitches (by Cingrani) and it wasnt coming easy, and I wouldve hated for him to get the loss in a situation where he didnt have his best stuff, Price said.

He made it home from second on a fielders choice for Cincinnatis first run in the fourth inning.The speed component is beginning to show itself on the offensive side, not just in stolen bases, Price said. Im really happy with the improvement in his game this year.A grounder that deflected off first base helped the Brewers go up 2-1 in the fifth. Ramon Flores singled and advanced on Garzas sacrifice.
