TJ Friedl and Jose Trevino each had a two-run homer as the visiting Cincinnati Reds snapped a four-game skid with an 11-7 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday night.

The Reds, who had scored a total of two runs in their previous four games, tagged Elvin Rodriguez (0-2) for four homers in four innings to go in front 7-0.

Milwaukee rallied, however, putting up a run in the fourth inning and adding another four in the fifth.

Cincinnati plated three runs in the seventh on Elly De La Cruz's two-run single and a sacrifice fly. Oliver Dunn answered with a bases-loaded double in the home half to pull Milwaukee within 10-7. Gavin Lux's RBI single in the top of the ninth made it 11-7.

Reds starter Brady Singer (2-0) allowed five runs (three earned) on nine hits in five innings while striking out seven.

The Reds went up 4-0 with two homers in the second. Blake Dunn, inserted into the lineup when Matt McLain was a late scratch, put the Reds in front 2-0 with his first homer, a two-out solo shot. Trevino singled and Friedl followed with his first long ball.

Cincinnati added two more homers in the fourth to make it 7-0, as Christian Encarnacion-Strand went deep to open the frame and Trevino delivered a two-run blast.

The Brewers, who had won four in a row, got on the board in the bottom half when Sal Frelick smacked a leadoff triple and scored on Oliver Dunn's sacrifice fly.

Milwaukee made it 7-5 on a one-out walk and four consecutive singles. After Christian Yelich singled in the first run, William Contreras singled to snap an 0-for-20 skid and load the bases.

Frelick followed with an RBI single to right field, but the ball skipped by Jake Fraley, allowing two more runs to score on the error.
