MILWAUKEE (AP) —offense couldn’t offset Chase Anderson’s continuing home run struggles.Jose Peraza hit a two-run homer off Anderson in the first inning and the Cincinnati Reds beat Milwaukee 3-1 Tuesday night Ivan Rodriguez Jersey , the Brewers’ third loss in four games.“The first pitch is just kind of a blooper into center field and then he fell behind Peraza,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “But after six pitches, we’re down 2-0.”The Brewers’ edge for the top NL wild-card spot was cut to two games by St. Louis, with Colorado also in close contention. Milwaukee fell 3 ½ games behind the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs.Milwaukee managed only three hits against five Cincinnati pitchers. It was the third low-scoring loss for the Brewers in four games — they fell to Pittsburgh 3-1 on Saturday and 3-2 on Sunday.“We’re going to have to do a little better than that, for sure,” Counsell said. “More pressure has to be put on the other team. There was nothing really happening tonight. I don’t know if we had a significant rally really all night.”Scott Schebler opened the first with a single to left off Anderson, who has allowed an NL-high 30 home runs. Peraza then connected for his 13th homer.The Brewers made it 2-1 with an unearned run in the second, but the Reds made it 3-1 in the fourth on Schebler’s RBI double.Michael Lorenzen, making his first start since 2015 after 151 relief appearances, allowed one unearned run on one hit in four innings. Sal Romano (8-11) followed with 2 1/3 scoreless innings for the victory.Raisel Iglesias struck out three in the ninth after a leadoff walk for his 28th save.“I’ve been saying, ‘Give me a chance, give me a chance.’ They gave me a chance against a good lineup, so I was excited about that http://www.rangersfanproshop.com/authentic-shin-soo-choo-jersey ,” said Lorenzen, who has indicated he would like to be a starter. “It was like, ‘Man, you better step up.'”Anderson (9-8) gave up three runs on six hits with two walks in 3 2/3 innings, matching his shortest start of the season. Six relievers blanked the Reds the rest of the way.“I was just kind of inconsistent where I could throw the ball tonight,” Anderson said. “One inning I felt I could make a pitch, the next inning I couldn’t. So, it’s just kind of the inconsistency I’ve been battling, I would say, pretty much this whole season.”In the Milwaukee second, Travis Shaw was hit by a pitch and advanced on a groundout. Shaw came around when Schebler bobbled Jonathan Schoop’s single to right.Reds center fielder Mason Williams made a sensational, over-the-shoulder basket catch on Curtis Granderson’s one-out drive to the warning track in the sixth. It prevented a possible run as Christian Yelich followed with a single.“A couple people on the bench thought that ball was gone,” manager Jim Riggleman said. “I didn’t think it was going to go as far as it did. Mase did a great job on it. That one was close. We’re trying to keep it in the ballpark as much as we can. We did a good job of that tonight.”TRAINER’S ROOMReds: RHP Homer Bailey probably will not pitch again this season Prince Fielder Jersey , Riggleman said. Bailey (1-14, 6.09 ERA) was removed from the rotation after his last start Sept. 5, and has indicated he can’t relieve. … RHP Tyler Mahle, bothered by right shoulder fatigue, is not ready to start Sunday, Riggleman said.Brewers: Shaw was hit on the left knee by a pitch to open the second and was down for several minutes in the batter’s box. After being examined by the trainer, Shaw remained in the game. He came around to score the Brewers’ first run, but left in the fourth inning with a right knee contusion. “They did X-rays, nothing there, just a contusion,” Counsell said. “But, it stiffened up and he wasn’t able to move around.” … CF Lorenzo Cain left was removed after striking out in the fourth. “He took a swing a couple days ago that just kind of intercostal, it’s just been bugging him a little bit http://www.rangersfanproshop.com/authentic-adrian-beltre-jersey ,” Counsell said. “I just thought he took some swing tonight in the second at-bat that just didn’t look good, and so we took him out of the game. We’ll see how we’re looking tomorrow.”UP NEXTReds: RHP Matt Harvey (7-8, 4.67 ERA), whom the Brewers had tried to acquire in August, starts the series finale on Wednesday night. Harvey, obtained in May from the Mets, is 2-1 with a 2.88 ERA in his last seven starts. His 26 starts are his most since 2015.Brewers: LHP Gio Gonzalez (8-11, 4.44 ERA) celebrates his 33rd birthday Wednesday with his third start for Milwaukee since being acquired from Washington on Aug. 31. Gonzalez is 1-0 with the Brewers, allowing three earned runs in 10 1/3 innings after going 7-11 with the Nationals. CHICAGO (AP) — The wind blowing in posed a challenge to some hitters. Not Mike Trout.Trout homered twice and drove in five runs, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Chicago White Sox 12-3 on Saturday night.Trout’s 5-for-5 performance matched his career high for hits in a game and raised his batting average to .314.“The two balls he hit were killed,” manager Mike Scioscia said. “The wind was pushing them back. It shows you how strong Mike is. Great at-bats.”David Fletcher, Shohei Ohtani and Andrelton Simmons had two hits each for the Angels, who have won four of five.Ohtani hit a bases-clearing triple and scored on one of Thyago Vieira’s three wild pitches in a six-run ninth inning.Yolmer Sanchez and Kevan Smith each had two hits for the White Sox Nolan Ryan Jersey , who lost their fourth straight.Trout hit a full-count, two-run homer to center field with one out in the first inning. Justin Upton added an RBI single to make it 3-0.Trout smacked another full-count homer off White Sox starter James Shields — a three-run shot for his 33rd home run of the season — in the third, extending the lead to 6-1. He has 14 career multi-home run games and four this season. His most recent was July 25, against the White Sox.“I knew he was going to have a big game today, something about his swag today and it made me realize again how good of a player he is,” Ohtani said through a translator.Trout last had five hits May 26 at the Yankees, and drove in five RBIs in a game Sept. 17, 2015, against Minnesota.“He seems to get me quite often, unfortunately,” Shields said. “He’s one of the best hitters in the game, if not the best hitter, so can’t really do that to that guy.”Six of Trout’s nine career hits against Shields have been home runs.“He’s been a great pitcher http://www.rangersfanproshop.com/authentic-rougned-odor-jersey ,” Trout said. “We compete against each other. It’s fun. Just not missing pitches. I can’t tell you the reason. Just getting a pitch to hit and just not missing.”In his other at-bats, Trout singled.“Couple balls they hit were hit pretty well. They just died,” Trout said about the wind. “It was weird. It was swirling the whole night.”Matt Shoemaker (2-0) gave up three runs and seven hits for the Angels in his second start since coming off the disabled list and third overall start this season. He has allowed six runs in 15 2/3 innings. Shoemaker missed 134 games after his season debut due to a right forearm strain.Four relievers combined to throw four one-hit innings.Shields (6-16) allowed six runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings. It was his shortest outing since July 25.Yoan Moncada and Sanchez hit back-to-back doubles in the first to pull the White Sox within two.Smith’s double in the fourth cut the lead to 6-3.OHTANI UPDATEOhtani has a right thigh contusion after colliding with Vieira when he scored.

The team purchased the contract of right-hander Rob Scahill, who was 3-4 with a 5.64 ERA in 52 relief appearances at Triple-A Charlotte.TRAINER’S ROOMWhite Sox: 1B Jose Abreu (testicular surgery) will possibly return to the lineup Monday at Kansas City, manager Rick Renteria said. Abreu and LF Leury Garcia (strained hamstring) took live batting practice Saturday. Garcia is a little further away from a return, Renteria said. .RHP Nate Jones (pronator muscle strain) looked good throwing Saturday, Renteria said. Jones will take a day or two off and possibly throw in another simulated game before being activated.WELCOMEJoe Hudson made his major league debut with the Angels. He grounded out as a pinch hitter in the ninth.UP NEXTLHP Andrew Heaney (8-9, 4.16 ERA) is set to start for the Angels in the series finale Sunday against the White Sox, and RHP Reynaldo Lopez (5-9, 4.37).
