Deadspin | Brewers extend mastery over Reds, take series with 9-1 win Deadspin | Brewers extend mastery over Reds, take series with 9-1 win
Andrew Abbott - Saddled with first loss Abbott (5-1) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up five runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings as the Reds were routed 9-1 by the Brewers. He struck out six.
Impact The southpaw was very sharp for the most part, generating 36 called or swinging strikes among his 100 pitches (72 total strikes), but a couple offerings caught too much of the plate and got turned into two-run homers by Jackson Chourio in the fifth inning and Daz Cameron in the sixth. It's the first time this season Abbott has served up multiple home runs in a start, and despite the setback he'll take a 2.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 59:19 K:BB through 53.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Cleveland.

Daz Cameron - Swats first homer of year Cameron went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Reds.
Impact Getting the start in left field and batting fifth, Cameron got hold of an Andrew Abbott changeup in the sixth inning and drove it over the fence in left-center field for his first long ball of the season. Cameron is filling a short-side platoon role while Garrett Mitchell (oblique) remains sidelined, and he's collected five hits in his last three starts with a double, a homer, two RBI and four runs.

Jackson Chourio - Fuels offense in big win Chourio went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Reds.
Impact The 21-year-old center fielder launched the first of three Milwaukee homers in the fifth inning, driving an Andrew Abbott cutter the other way to right field. Chourio's long ball was his 10th of the season while the steal was his 12th, and over his last 15 contests he's batting .333 (22-for-66) with three homers, four stolen bases, 12 RBI and 14 runs.

DL Hall - Stingy as opener Hall gave up one hit and two walks over three scoreless innings as the opener in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Reds. He struck out three.
Impact The southpaw retired the first six batters he faced before running out of gas in the third, but Hall was able to escape a bases loaded, one-out jam and leave the mound after 48 pitches (23 strikes). He's served as the opener in tandem with Quinn Priester for two straight turns through the rotation, with Hall delivering six scoreless innings and a 7:3 K:BB, but it's unclear whether the duo will be needed again as Brandon Woodruff (ankle) may have made his last rehab start Tuesday.

Quinn Priester - Collects third win Priester (3-2) picked up the win in Wednesday's 9-1 victory over the Reds, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over five relief innings. He struck out four.
Impact Entering the game in the fourth inning after DL Hall had blanked Cincinnati for three frames, Priester racked up an impressive 30 called or swinging strikes among his 88 pitches (57 total strikes) to get credited with the win. The right-hander has given up three runs or fewer in six straight appearances (three starts and three bulk relief outings), posting a 2.51 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB in 32.1 innings over that stretch. Brandon Woodruff (ankle) got hit on the arm by a comebacker Tuesday in what was expected to be his final rehab start, making it unclear whether Priester will get another turn through the rotation.
