Reds get 9-7 win after Brewers’ Herrera injured in collision

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Elian Herrera is carted off the field after colliding with left fielder Shane Peterson while trying to catch a ball hit by Cincinnati Reds’ Skip Schumaker during the eighth inning of a baseball game Saturday, September 19, 2015, in Milwaukee.

DeSclafani is 1-0 in two appearances against the Brewers, including one start, allowing three hits and a walk with six strikeouts in 9.2 scoreless innings. The left-hander allowed a solo homer to Khris Davis in the second, but held the Brewers hitless in eight at-bats with runners in scoring position. Reds 1B Joey Votto sat out Friday night to serve a one-game suspension for arguing with umpire Bill Welke on September 9.

An infield single by pinch-hitter Khris Davis gave the Brewers a 3-2 lead, then Lind added his two-run double.

The ball off the bat of Skip Schumaker fell in for an RBI double that tied the game at 7-7 in the eighth.

Milwaukee got one of the runs back in the sixth inning when Jason Rogers grounded into a force out at second base, but it allowed Ryan Braun to score a Brewers run.

The Cincinnati Reds have chose to give some young faces a look with the season nearing an end.

Brandon Finnegan pitched for Kansas City in the World Series past year, so the touted rookie didn’t seem fazed in the least when making his first major-league start for the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night.

Ultimately, I’m convinced that Finnegan has the talent and repertoire to be a solid starter in the long run, but I’m anxious that the rush to get him to the big leagues in a relief role may have forced him too far down a different path to be able to see that come to fruition. He is slashing.242/.290/.395 with seven home runs and 33 RBI. Hamilton originally suffered a right shoulder injury in August and was placed on the DL, but returned September 8. “Especially on a day like today when he’s definitely the anchor in that lineup”, Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said.
