Cincinnati Reds (39-46) at Milwaukee Brewers (53-31) — Game Preview
The Cincinnati Reds come to American Family Field sitting at 39-46, while the Milwaukee Brewers hold the NL Central lead at 53-31, the best record in their division. Cincinnati enters the afternoon with a team batting average of .274 led by shortstop Elly De La Cruz, who has posted a .341 on-base percentage and a .490 slugging percentage — production that makes him the most dangerous weapon the Reds can deploy at the top of the order. First baseman Sal Stewart has been the team’s run-production engine, with 16 home runs and 59 RBIs on a .257 average, ranking him as Cincinnati’s primary power threat. On the Milwaukee side, catcher William Contreras leads the Brewers in batting average at .296 with a .362 OBP and .423 SLG — a steady, contact-oriented presence in the lineup who does damage without relying on the long ball. First baseman Jake Bauers supplies the pop, with 15 home runs and 51 RBIs on a .268 average, giving Milwaukee a right-handed counter to match Stewart’s output on the visitor’s side.

Players to Watch: Cincinnati Reds vs. Milwaukee Brewers
Cincinnati Reds
Elly De La Cruz — SS. De La Cruz is hitting .274 with a .341 OBP and .490 slugging percentage, making him a threat to do damage every time he steps in the box. His slugging number stands above both corner infielders featured in tonight’s matchup, and he brings plus speed to a Reds lineup that needs him reaching base consistently.
Sal Stewart — 1B. Stewart has been Cincinnati’s most productive run-producer this season, batting .257 with 16 home runs and 59 RBIs through 85 games. His RBI total leads the Reds and represents the primary reason the offense still has a pulse despite the team’s 39-46 record.
Milwaukee Brewers
William Contreras — C. Contreras leads the Brewers with a .296 batting average, complemented by a .362 OBP and .423 SLG that reflect a catcher who consistently puts together quality at-bats. He is the kind of contact hitter who keeps an inning alive and rarely gives away outs.
Jake Bauers — 1B. Bauers has emerged as Milwaukee’s top power source, with 15 home runs and 51 RBIs on a .268 average. He and Stewart give tonight’s game a first-base power matchup that should make the middle innings worth watching.
