Greinke Wins 9th, Brewers Snap 4 Game Skid

CINCINNATI -- If the Brewers wind up having to trade pitcher Zack Greinke, they can say that he gave them a bang for their buck.  The ace righthander (now 9-2) tossed 6 innings, allowing just 2 runs, as Milwaukee avoided a 3 game sweep and stopped a 4 game skid with an 8-4 win over the Reds in Cincinnati.

With Ryan Braun benched by a sore left elbow (he was hit by a pitch on Tuesday night), Rickie Weeks and Cody Ransom came through with 2-run homers, to stake Greinke to a 5-1 lead.

The Crew return home after a 2 and 4 road trip.  They don't play Thursday; Arizona helps open a homestand on Friday night.
