The Brewers saw off the Reds 13-9 in a regular-season MLB match on 12 September 2026, ending a run of three straight defeats for the visitors. It was the second meeting between them this week, following their 20-0 victory over the Reds the previous day.
The Reds had lost four of their last five games before this one, including a 14-11 drubbing by the Dodgers on 10 September. They came into the game knowing they needed to stop the bleeding after three consecutive losses in a row.
And here's the thing — I had called this one at 84 per cent confidence for the Brewers. Not because of anything dramatic, just the way the recent form was stacking up. By then the Brewers had won three straight at home, while the Reds were searching for answers.
What stood out was the Brewers' ability to keep finding runs even when the Reds thought they had tightened things up. The visitors refused to go away, but the Brewers simply had more to offer when it mattered.
This win extends the Brewers' winning run and leaves the Reds still searching for consistency after a patchy month. The gap between them at this stage of the season is becoming harder to bridge.
