William Contreras hit a two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning off Reds closer Emilio Pagan to give the Brewers a 2-1 lead. Cincinnati, which remains the only team in the major leagues not to be swept this season, scored an unearned run in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings for the second straight game.
