Cincinnati Reds vs Milwaukee Brewers — Mar 23, 2026 | AI predpoveď a štatistiky

Corbin Burnes and Hunter Greene headline this matchup, and the contrast in styles defines the night. Burnes’ cutter/curve combo carves up Cincinnati the first time through the order, while Greene’s velocity overwhelms Milwaukee until the second. The Brewers break through in the 2nd when Rowdy Tellez punches a 102-mph fastball into the right-field corner, cashing in Willy Adames from first. Cincinnati answers in the 3rd with a solo homer from Elly De La Cruz, but Burnes regroups and strands two. In the 4th, disciplined Milwaukee at-bats force Greene into long counts; a Christian Yelich walk, Adames single, and Sal Frelick’s line-drive double bring home two, giving the Brewers a 3-1 cushion. The Reds’ best push comes in the 5th: Jonathan India works an eight-pitch walk and TJ Friedl slaps a single. Spencer Steer then bangs a two-run double off the left-center wall, tying it 3-3 and spiking Burnes’ pitch count. Craig Counsell sticks with his ace one batter longer, and Burnes induces an inning-ending double play. Milwaukee flips momentum immediately. Greene, at 96 pitches, leaves a slider up in the 6th and Adames deposits it into the Brewers’ bullpen for a 4-3 lead. Cincinnati goes to the pen—Lucas Sims in the 6th, Alexis Díaz in the 8th—but the Brewers add an insurance run in the 8th on Brice Turang’s drag-bunt single and Yelich’s gapper, stretching it to 5-3. Cincinnati scrapes one back in the 7th when Jake Fraley bloops a single off Hoby Milner and India plates him with a sac fly, but Joel Payamps slams the door in the 8th and Devin Williams strikes out the side in the 9th, preserving a 5-4 Brewers win. Key factors: • Burnes’ strike-throwing (6 IP, 3 ER, 8 K) blunts the Reds’ power middle. • Milwaukee’s bench speed (Turang, Mitchell) manufactures the 8th-inning add-on run. • Reds’ bullpen depth remains thin; Sims and Díaz shoulder heavy back-to-back workloads after a taxing series in Pittsburgh. Outcome: Brewers edge Reds in a tight, playoff-style contest, snapping their head-to-head skid and nudging Milwaukee closer to .500.
