In this story:


The Reds had leads in all three games of the series against the Milwaukee Brewers, but in the first two games of the series, they dropped the games late.

On Sunday, they blew the lead once again, but rallied in the 9th and 10th innings to beat the Brewers 6-5 and end their 14-game winning streak.

With one out and the bases loaded after the Brewers elected to intentionally walk Elly De La Cruz and Will Benson, Austin Hays ripped the first pitch he saw down the left field line to secure the win.

The Cincinnati Reds are the only team in Major League Baseball that has yet to be swept this season.

The win improves their record to 65-60 and puts them one game back of the third and final National League Wild Card spot.
