Sproat, Bauers and Vaughn power Brewers to a 2-0 win over the Reds

CINCINNATI (AP) — Brandon Sproat pitched one-hit ball for six shutout innings and had a career-high 10 strikeouts, Hank Bauers and Andrew Vaughn drove in runs and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 2-0 on Tuesday night.

Milwaukee (48-29) won a series at Great American Ball Park for the ninth straight time and has won 12 of the last 13.

The Brewers spoiled the return of Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz, who went 0 for 3 and struck out twice in his first game since May 31 after landing on the injured list with a strained hamstring for the first time in his career.
