The Cincinnati Reds ended a 35-inning scoreless streak on Friday night when Christian Encarnacion-Strand hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning to drive in TJ Friedl against the Milwaukee Brewers.

In his first start with the Brewers, lefty Tyler Alexander carved up the Reds in a 12-pitch first inning in which he struck out two. After TJ Friedl hit a warning-track flyout to open the game, Alexander got Spencer Steer to swing through a cutter and capped the inning off with a three-pitch punch out of Elly De La Cruz.

The Reds lost 1-0 to the Brewers on Thursday to become only the second team in the live-ball era (since 1920) to lose three consecutive 1-0 games.
