Gagne Blows it in 10th, Junior Lifts Reds Over Brewers 4-3

Posted Apr 20, 08 5:50 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Edwin Encarnacion and Paul Bako hit consecutive homers off Eric Gagne in the 10th inning Sunday, and Ken Griffey Jr. followed with a run-scoring single that sent the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Reds won for only the second time in their last nine games, a downturn linked to their struggling offense.

Down to their last at-bat on Sunday, they finally got it going. Encarnacion helped the Brewers pull ahead 3-1 in the top of the 10th with his sixth fielding error, booting a grounder as he hurried to try to start a double play. Jared Burton (1-1) let in a run with a wild pitch, and J.J. Hardy singled home another.
