Cincinnati Reds salvage final game in Milwaukee, beat Brewers 4-3 to avoid sweep
MILWAUKEE (Cincinnati Enquirer ) – The Cincinnati Reds escaped their personal Hell loop at American Family Field with just their second victory in Milwaukee this season, salvaging a 4-3 victory over the Brewers in the finale of a three-game weekend series on Sunday.
The hot-hitting Tyler Stephenson hit a go-ahead home run in the fifth, and after the Brewers tied it back up in the sixth, he walked during the final go-ahead rally in the Reds seventh.
Closer Alexis Diaz finished off a strong performance by the Reds bullpen with a 1-2-3 ninth for his 23rd save of the season.

The Reds finished their two-city road trip 4-3 despite losing the three-game series to the Brewers. Stephenson was 8-for-25 (.320) with two homers, two doubles and three walks during the trip.
Sunday’s win snapped a four-game losing streak to the Brewers and improved their mark this season against the division leaders to 3-6 with four games left against the Brewers at home, starting Aug. 31. The Reds are still looking for their first series win against the Brewers since 2022.
Reds starter Nick Lodolo pitched into the sixth with the lead Sunday before a one-out walk and double to the left-field gap by William Contreras put the tying run on third.
Right-hander Buck Farmer took over at that point and was greeted by a Willy Adames run-scoring single to left.
Farmer escaped the jam without further damage, and the Reds regained the lead in the top of the seventh.
Santiago Espinal, who singled home the Reds’ first two runs of the game with two outs in the fourth, opened the seventh with a single, took second on broken-bat tapper to the mound and scored two walks later on a sacrifice fly by Spencer Steer.
Lodolo, who missed most of last year with a leg injury and reached his career high in innings for a season on Sunday, has seen his performance wane in recent weeks.
He was lifted after just 79 pitches Sunday. After starting the season 8-2 with a 2.76 ERA in his first 11 starts, he’s 1-2 with a 6.07 ERA in his last eight.

MILWAUKEE — An Oak Creek couple’s stolen car has been found after a viewer who saw a report on the theft spotted it near a south side Milwaukee apartment complex.
Melinna Posey said the ordeal began when her car was stolen and she turned to social media for help. A person who responded claimed to have the vehicle and demanded money for its return. The person messaging even taunted her, discarding some of the items inside the car.
Personal items were inside the vehicle, including the family’s car seat, stroller, cameras and photos.
“It’s been very stressful, especially for him. It’s his vehicle, it’s in his name,” Posey said.

I spoke to Posey on Tuesday. Since then, she and Tyler Dusenberry had been searching for the car. On Thursday, the couple received a message from someone who saw the story on TMJ4. That person found the car at a south side Milwaukee apartment complex and shared pictures of the red Dodge Durango SRT between trees and a building, covered in tarps.
“I didn’t believe the text message at first today, and then he sent pictures of the car, and I was like, thank the lord, I was like thank you so much,” Posey said.
“It’s a roller coaster that’s what it’s been,” Dusenberry said.

Oak Creek Police picked up the car and are processing it for evidence. The family has not yet been able to see the inside of the vehicle or what, if anything, was left behind.
The family said they are grateful to everyone who helped them this week, but said the entire experience will be tough to get over.
“It’s just unfortunate that this all happened, and we had a lot of memories and trips within that vehicle so it’s just a little life-changing to be honest,” Dusenberry said.

PLOVER, Wis. (WBAY) – Police in the western part of the state are spreading the word after someone stole over $95,000 worth of Milwaukee-brand tools. Police are concerned that they’ll be sold online or sold outside the state.
Milwaukee-brand tools were stolen from a trailer at a solar farm in Plover.
Police say there were 130 items, including more than 40 half-inch impact guns, multiple wire cutters, grease guns, 80 batteries, and a couple of small generators.
Investigators are warning that buyers who purchase stolen items can have them seized and could lose their money or even face criminal charges if they knew the property was stolen.
