On the state scene, veteran starter Brandon Woodruff made his return from the injured list.
A memorable one, Woodruff retired the first 16 batters he faced and only allowed one hit in six shout-out innings as Milwaukee edged the Reds in 10 innings two to one.
Joey Ortiz broke the scoreless tie in the 10th with a sacrifice fly and the eventual winning run scored on a wild pitch.
Trevor McGill was the winning pitcher.
Talking about his night and his comeback here is Brandon Woodruff.
We've put in a lot of work here the last couple weeks leading up to the day in between stars trying to get the delivery back.
They're consistent and getting some more direction towards home plate and to be honest it took me a couple innings to find it there.
I was able to battle back and so that was good.
What he says, his velocity got better as the game went on.
I've always been a slow starter, but in the past, before surgery, it's more of the 93-94 and then it goes up.
Now it's a little less than that and that's okay.
I just try to put the ball in good spots and the hitter tells me everything.
So if I'm seeing guys, they're late, whether it's 90-91, it still plays and I try to treat it that way.
Brandon Sproul will start tonight's game in Cincinnati, game number two of the series.

Top story on the state scene, the trading of Iyana, San Francisco.
My old broadcast school buddy Bill Scott has more.
Yana Sedetta, Kupo and Bobby Porter sent to Miami for four players, including Tyler Hero and Jaime Hayquez, as well as K.L.
Ware and Casparas Jacochonis.
They get three first-round picks, including number 13 in tonight's draft, a pick swap and a second-round selection.
Hero grew up just outside of Milwaukee, attended Wittnell High School in Greenfield, made the All-Star team in 2025, and averaged 19.5 points a game over seven seasons with a heat.
Yana spent 13 seasons in Milwaukee, was a 10-time All-Star,
star, two-time MVP and defensive player of the year in 2020.
He led the Bucks to their first NBA championship in 50 years when they took the 2021 title.
But plagued by injuries, Giannis played just 36 games last season averaging 27.6 points and 9.8 rebounds a game and shooting 62 percent.

radio network.
And now some various fan reactions after hearing the news of the trade.
You hear the words Yanis getting traded and you think what?
Disappointed.
I think they got another championship if they could get him the supporting cast that he needs.
You know Yanis has given everything to the city so I mean he's in a lot but I kind of feel like it's time to give what we can get for him and time to move on.
I want what's best for him honestly.
I would say I'm more of a Yanis fan than a Bucks fan.
My blood is Yanis' blood.
If
you want to win a championship in the NBA today you get
yourself five defensive guys.
It is sort of a lateral move.
I mean, I think Miami will have to make some other moves to be a serious contender.
I mean, I couldn't name anybody else.
Yeah, overall, it's kind of lukewarm.
I really wish it happened a couple years ago.
You think you weren't going to get a guy who's going to want to play in the middle of January?
You think you're going to be able to get up for a game, and it's four degrees outside?
No.
But we had a guy we knew who was down for whatever, and we give him away to Miami.
That is an update on sports.
I am Phil Knee.
