Milwaukee takes the lead four different times in the game, the last when Jesus Aguilar hits a go-ahead homer off Raisel Iglesias in the 10th, and the Brewers add another run after that, but the Reds mount one last charge with a solo homer by Brandon Dixon before Jeremy Jeffress retires the next three batters to end the wild game that takes 4 hours and 16 minutes to play. For the Reds, oe of the key hits comes in the 6th with reliever Michael Lorenzen batting against Taylor Williams. With two strikes, he is sent to the ground trying to check a bunt on an inside pitch, but the ball glances off his bat; Milwaukee argues that he was bunting and should be out on strikes, but umpire Tony Randazzo rules otherwise, allowing the at-bat to continue; Lorenzen then hits a three-run homer on the next pitch.
