Eric Gagné made the Brewers loose

Gagne’s meltdown in 10th spells doom for Brewers

Edwin Encarnacion and Paul Bako hit consecutive home runs against losing pitcher Eric Gagne in the 10th inning, and Ken Griffey Jr. singled home the winning run later in the inning as the Cincinnati Reds rallied to stun the visiting Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 on Sunday.

After the Brewers had scored twice in the top of the inning, the Reds came alive in the bottom half. Encarnacion greeted Gagne (1-1) with his second homer of the game to make it 3-2 before Bako followed with another to tie the score.

Gagne, who was pitching for the fourth day in a row, then walked Scott Hatteberg before being pulled in favor of Salomon Torres. An infield single by Brandon Phillips with one out moved pinch runner Ryan Freel to second and set up Griffey.

Brewers right-hander Yovani Gallardo was stellar in his first start of 2008, allowing one run and four hits in eight innings. He missed the first three weeks of the regular season while recovering from offseason surgery on his left knee.
