A three-run home run off the bat of Eugenio Suárez in the top of the sixth inning led the way for the Cincinnati Reds to salvage the final game of the three-game series. The Brewers’ 4-3 loss snaps their five-game winning streak and avoids any chance of clinching the division title on an off-day. Robert Gasser toed the mound for the 19th time this season and delivered one of his better performances that the Brewers have seen this season.

The State of Wisconsin sports will be going for a rare weekend sweep, and it'll begin with the Brewers taking on the Reds. With the Brewers soundly taking care of games one and two, and the Badger football team winning their first of the season, the Brewers and Packers will be up next to finish the weekend strong. Most importantly, the Crew eyes their longest winning streak of the 2026 season, as they currently sit at five games in a row. They'll have to face the Reds ace, however, Chase Burns.

For the third straight series, the Milwaukee Brewers failed to win the series finale. With the playoffs looming and a deep run expected by the fanbase and franchise alike, it doesn’t bode well for anyone’s confidence. To pour more salt into an already festering wound, the Brewers were looking to Kyle Harrison to provide length and give an exhausted bullpen a break. Furthermore, coming off one of the worst starts of his career, Harrison was due.
