Willy Adames and Keston Hiura homered for the Brewers. Hiura’s solo shot in the ninth tied the game.
Mike Brousseau made an error in the 10th that allowed the go-ahead run score for the Reds.
Brewers starter Corbin Burnes went six innings and allowed just a run on two hits and a pair of walks while striking out nine. He didn’t allow a hit until Nick Senzel doubled with two outs in the fourth and his only run came an inning later on a two-out, solo home run by Reds catcher Michael Papierski.
Adames’ team-leading 22nd home run of the year accounted for the only run allowed by Reds starter Graham Ashcraft. The right-hander, filling a spot opened when Hunter Greene landed on the IL ahead of the series opener, scattered four hits and two walks while striking out three over 5 2/3 innings.
The two home runs were all either team had been able to muster heading into the eighth when Jonathan India reached on a pinch-hit single and scored on Solano’s hit.
Hiura, who homered Saturday night in his first start since returning from Triple-A Nashville, led off the ninth with his 10th off the season off Hunter Strickland (3-3).
Ross Detwiler worked a perfect 10th for his seventh career save and his first since 2014.
