CINCINNATI -- The bottom two teams in the NL Central resumed the season with a game that came down to the last pitch. The last-place Reds got the better of it.Adam Duvall and Tucker Barnhart doubled home runs in the sixth inning Friday night, rallying Cincinnati to a 5-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers that snapped a three-game losing streak.Were 1-0 in the second half, Barnhart said.Of course, they opened the season with a sweep of Philadelphia, only to fall apart and get on pace to lose more than 100 games. But for one night, they felt rejuvenated.Duvalls double off Matt Garza (1-3) cut Milwaukees lead to 3-2, the ball hitting the top of the wall in left. Barnharts two-run double just inside the third base line off Carlos Torres gave Cincinnati its first lead. Jay Bruce added an RBI double in the seventh.Anthony DeSclafani (4-0) allowed six hits in six innings, including Scooter Gennetts homer. DeSclafani leads the Reds staff with six quality starts in seven appearances since he recovered from a strained oblique.Tony Cingrani gave up pinch-hitter Hernan Perezs RBI single in the ninth, and then loaded the bases with one out. The left-hander got Gennett to swing at a high, full-count fastball and foul out.It was probably ball four, but I got a borderline pitch there, Gennett said. I just got under it a little bit.Manager Bryan Price decided to bring in Ross Ohlendorf. The right-hander got Ryan Braun to pop up, earning his second save in four chances.I just thought, 26 pitches (by Cingrani) and it wasnt coming easy, and I wouldve hated for him to get the loss in a situation where he didnt have his best stuff, Price said. We had a fresh arm ready.The Brewers have lost three straight and 10 of 14.Billy Hamilton had a pair of singles, stole a base, and scored twice. He made it home from second on a fielders choice for Cincinnatis first run in the fourth inning.The speed component is beginning to show itself on the offensive side, not just in stolen bases, Price said. Im really happy with the improvement in his game this year.A grounder that deflected off first base helped the Brewers go up 2-1 in the fifth. Ramon Flores singled and advanced on Garzas sacrifice. Jonathan Villar hit a slow grounder down the line that Joey Votto failed to charge, allowing the ball hit first base and skip away for an RBI single.NICE DBruce jumped to get Chris Carters fly to the top of the wall in the fourth. The Brewers Jonathan Villar made a sliding stop on Vottos grounder to the hold at shortstop and threw him out from his knees in the bottom of the inning.HO HO HOThe Brewers worked out to Christmas carols pregame as the Cincinnati Pops rehearsed. It provided the soundtrack for postgame fireworks as part of a Christmas in July promotion.BREWERS MOVERight-hander Corey Knebel was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs and pitched the eighth.
