![]() TJ Friedl hit a single in the first inning, but he was deked by center fielder Trent Grisham into thinking a shallow fly ball would drop. The Reds failed to create many offensive opportunities against Padres starter Seth Lugo. Juan Soto, in case anyone forgot about the stars in the Padres lineup, broke the score open with a three-run double to right field in the sixth inning. This is all from a guy who entered Wednesday with two hits and one walk in his first 14 plate appearances. Two innings later, Sullivan lifted his first career homer, a two-run blast, over the right field wall off lefty reliever Alex Young for a 4-0 lead. Sullivan laced a two-run double down the first base line in the second inning against Reds starter Luis Cessa for his third career hit. Sullivan, who had six career games to his name entering Wednesday’s series finale, did all the early damage as the Reds lost, 7-1, at Petco Park to end their six-game West Coast road trip. ![]() The Dodgers, who have won eight of their last nine, will return home to host the Padres after the three games in Milwaukee.SAN DIEGO – There are a lot of San Diego Padres hitters who command a lot of attention to during pregame pitcher’s meeting, but backup catcher Brett Sullivan probably wasn’t very high on the Cincinnati Reds’ priority list. Gonsolin is 2-0 with a 0.75 ERA in two starts against Milwaukee, both last season, allowing one run on five hits over 12 innings, with 11 strikeouts and three walks. "Tonight, getting Tony, his pitch count up, getting him into the (fifth) inning, I thought was great," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Gonsolin's last start. His last time out, Gonsolin allowed three runs on five hits in 4 2/3 innings, striking out three and walking two, but building up to 80 pitches in a 13-4 win over the Phillies. ![]() In his first start back, he tossed 3 1/3 scoreless innings in an 8-1 loss at Pittsburgh, allowing two hits and three walks in a 65-pitch outing. Gonsolin, 16-1 with a 2.14 ERA last season, has made two starts since coming off the IL on April 26. Peralta is 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA in three career starts against the Dodgers, including a 4-0 loss last season at American Family Field. He's in a good spot to continue to perform well." "Maybe, the San Diego start (five runs in five innings), he might want some of that back, but the rest of the outings have been plus-plus. "I think Freddy's pitched well a whole bunch," Counsell said. Peralta, 10-5 with a 2.81 ERA as an All-Star in 2021, has shown no signs of the shoulder issues that limited him to 78 innings last season. "Two pitches, really, but he pitched exceptionally well." "I thought Freddy pitched well, for sure," Counsell said after Peralta's last start. In his last start, Peralta gave up a pair of solo homers in six innings, striking out a season-high 10, but did not get the decision in a 3-2 loss at Colorado last Tuesday. "Always nice flying a long flight and coming home with a win."ĭespite the road struggles, the Brewers actually moved within a half-game of first place in the National League Central behind Pittsburgh, which has lost seven straight. "Obviously not a good trip, but salvaged it with a nice game today," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Milwaukee is 16-3 when scoring at least four runs, 3-12 when scoring three or fewer. ![]() Prior to Sunday's 12-hit outburst, the Brewers had scored 14 runs in the first five games of the trip.

The Dodgers rallied for a dramatic 5-2 victory at San Diego in 10 innings on Sunday. Willy Adames hit his 100th career homer and drove in four runs. Adrian Houser was activated off the injured list and made his season debut for the Brewers, allowing two runs in 4 2/3 innings. Milwaukee topped San Francisco 7-3 on Sunday after dropping the first five games of the road trip, including a sweep at Colorado.
