TJ Friedl called game on Tuesday, and he ended the Milwaukee Brewers’ eight-game winning streak in the process.
Friedl, with two outs on the board in the bottom of the ninth inning at the Great American Ball Park on Tuesday night, started tracking what looked like a very clear home run from Milwaukee Brewers POS Jake Bauers. With a runner on second, too, the shot would have tied the game up.

But as Friedl got to the wall, he played the ball perfectly. Friedl jumped up, stuck his glove just over the wall and stole the home run away from Bauers. That sealed the 4-2 win for Cincinnati, and sent both Friedl and the Reds into a massive celebration.
The win pushed the Reds to 30-32 on the season, and snapped a three-game losing skid.
The Brewers, on the other hand, have been unstoppable over the past week or so. They swept both the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies while building up an eight-game win streak, and they beat the Reds 4-2 on Monday night to kick off the three-game series. They now hold a 33-29 record, which has them in third in the NL Central.
