HR leader Thames hurt in Brewers’ win
Major- league home run leader Eric Thames scored twice before leaving with an injury and Orlando Arcia homered and had three RBI, leading the Brewers to a 9- 4 win over the visiting Reds to complete a three- game sweep.
Ryan Braun snapped out of a 5- for- 22 slump with a two- run double and a single off Reds starter Rookie Davis ( 0- 1) and Jett Bandy had three hits and two RBI, helping the Brewers win their fourth game overall against the Reds this season.
