CINCINNATI (AP) —me this season Enos Slaughter Jersey , but the Cincinnati Reds couldn’t get him out with the game on the line.Yelich doubled in the ninth inning and scored the tiebreaking run Monday night, rallying the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-3 victory in front of the smallest crowd in Great American Ball Park history.The National League’s MVP had homered in each of Milwaukee’s first four games, tying the major league record shared by Willie Mays (1971), Mark McGwire (1998), Nelson Cruz (2011), Chris Davis (2013) and Trevor Story (2016). On Monday, his only hit set up the Brewers’ fourth win in five games.He doubled with two outs off Raisel Iglesias (0-1) and came around on Ryan Braun’s second double of the game.“It doesn’t have to be a homer,” Brewers starter Zach Davies said. “He’s clutch. He comes up in the big moments and nobody worries. He’s got a great approach, and everything is going right right now.”Alex Wilson (1-0) allowed one hit over 1 2/3 innings. Josh Hader gave up a double in the ninth before getting his third save in three chances.Players wore facemasks in 40-degree temperatures. The announced crowd of 7,799 was the smallest in the ballpark’s history, coming a season after Cincinnati had its worst home attendance since 1984.It was quite a change for the defending NL Central champs, who took three of four from the rival Cardinals at Miller Park before playing in the cold in front of a small crowd.“It was different, for sure,” manager Craig Counsell said. “But look, that’s major league baseball. You’ve got to perform in different scenarios and circumstances. You’ve just got to get through it and gut through it and it’s nice to do it with a win.”Tanner Roark gave up three runs in the first inning and lasted 4 1/3 innings in his debut with the Reds, who got him from the Nationals as part of their offseason overhaul of the rotation. Milwaukee sent nine batters to the plate in the top of the first, which lasted 20 minutes. Jesus Aguilar’s two-run single highlighted the rally.“I was just all over the place http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-marcell-ozuna-jersey ,” said Roark, who needed 34 pitches to get through the inning. “I wasn’t throwing strikes. I was falling behind and had to throw fastballs.”Yasiel Puig got his first hit with the Reds — and the first by a Cincinnati outfielder — to end a streak of 14 scoreless innings. His two-run double in the fifth off Davies cut it to 3-2. Davies gave up four hits in five innings.Derek Dietrich grounded into a run-producing force-out that tied it in the sixth.TRAINER’S ROOMReds: Right-hander Hunter Greene, the second overall pick in 2017, had a setback while throwing last week and will need Tommy John surgery. Greene didn’t pitch after July 26 last season because of a sprained ligament in the elbow. He was cleared to throw over the winter. Dick Williams, the president of baseball operations, said MRIs found new damage to the ligament.STREAK BUSTEDThe Brewers ended a streak of 22 straight games with a homer at GABP since Sept. 13, 2016, the longest homer streak by any team at the ballpark.YELICH WRECKS THE REDSYelich batted .482 against the Reds last season with seven homers and 17 RBIs. He hit for the cycle twice against Cincinnati.SEE YAReds left fielder Matt Kemp was ejected after he questioned a called third strike in the fifth inning and continued yelling at plate umpire Jeff Nelson. He’s 0 for 7 this season with three strikeouts.OUTS IN THE OUTFIELDReds outfielders Jesse Winker, Scott Schebler, Puig and Kemp are a combined 1 for 34 with 13 strikeouts.NOT HAPPYDavies was upset when Derek Dietrich extended his right elbow toward the strike zone and was brushed by one of his pitches. Dietrich was hit by pitches 93 times during his six seasons with the Marlins, setting a club record.“When you stick your elbow out and you’re trying to get hit, it’s kind of bush league baseball, I guess,” Davies said.BEAT THE SHIFTYasmani Grandal beat a four-man outfield alignment for his first hit with the Brewers, a single down the line in right. Reds manager David Bell moved second baseman Jose Peraza to left field and shifted the rest of the outfielders toward right.UP NEXTBrewers: Jhoulys Chacin (1-0) allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings of the Brewers’ opening win over St. Louis. He’s 0-2 with a 4.22 ERA in five starts and one relief appearance at Great American Ball Park.Reds: Anthony DeSclafani makes his season debut. He missed the first two months last season with a strained oblique but led the rotation with seven wins. He was 0-1 in three starts against Milwaukee with a 6.00 ERA last season. PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — Manny Machado’s debut in a Padres uniform was a lot less eventful than his free agency.The four-time All-Star spent the offseason being courted by every club with money to burn, and he wound up signing a $300 million Kolten Wong Jersey , 10-year deal with San Diego late last month. But after a few workouts in Arizona, his Cactus League debut against the San Francisco Giants was rather underwhelming.The 26-year-old Machado popped out in his first at-bat and drew a walk in his second, and he came out of Saturday’s game after three innings at third base without getting any action.Then again, the Padres are paying Machado for what he will do when the game start counting.Not what happens on a sun-splashed field in Arizona.“Finally. Finally got to play some baseball,” Machado said. “It’s been good, getting to know my teammates and just getting my feet under me. It’s been a nice week, getting to know players a lot more. I finally got out there and played some baseball — makes it a lot better.”Machado batted second and started at third base, his primary position for most of his career. He played shortstop last year with the Orioles and Dodgers, but the Padres have one of the game’s top shortstop prospects in Fernando Tatis Jr.“It felt good. I have to get some more reps over there but I feel good,” Machado said. “Just to leave all that back-field stuff and be in a real game, it was exciting.”Tatis also got the start against the Giants along with first baseman Eric Hosmer, who signed a $144 million, seven-year deal last year and together form the Padres’ infield of the future.One that manager Andy Green expects to push his club well past its 66 wins of a season ago.“Look forward to it more in the season,” Green said, when asked about writing Machado’s name on his lineup card. “It’s good. Happy to get him out here. He’s worked hard on the back fields here.”Green said Machado has been spending most of his time bonding with his new teammates, and he thinks the former third overall pick has been especially helpful for the 20-year-old Tatis.“He knows what it’s like being a prospect who has high expectations,” said Green Trevor Rosenthal Jersey , himself a former third baseman. “I’m sure he can relate in a way nobody else really can.”Yet the expectations for Machado are similarly stratospheric.He’s coming off a season in which he hit .297, belted a career-best 37 homers and drove in 107 runs, and helped Los Angeles reach the World Series.That season, coupled with his track record, is why the White Sox and other deep-pocketed suitors spent the offseason wooing him. And lest he forget how much money the Padres ultimately invested in him, Machado was reminded by a Giants fan during his second plate appearance Saturday.“You’re making $60,000 an hour!” the fan yelled. “Better not strike out!”So much for a pressure-free spring training game.“It’s an exciting day for him, I think, to get back on the field,” teammate Ian Kinsler said. “It’s an exciting day for the rest of the infield to be playing with him. It’s an exciting day for the Padres to see basically the new face or somebody that everybody’s going to relate to as far as being a Padres fan.”Machado said he normally takes 60 or 70 at-bats during spring training, and that means he has a little catching up to do after arriving late. But he said the work on the back fields has been helpful, even if it doesn’t come close to replicating game speed.He finally got a taste of that against Saturday.“It’s always worth it when you come out here and put on a uniform and step on that field,” Machado said, flashing a big smile. “It’s the best feeling you’ll ever have.”
