The Milwaukee Brewers left the bases loaded in both the seventh and ninth innings, but they only managed to score one run in those innings combined.

Jackson Chourio's sacrifice fly was all that came out of it as the Brewers fell to 88-55.

The Cincinnati Reds came out on top, 5-3, in a game that saw nearly a 2.5-hour rain delay.

For reference, the game itself was only two hours, 45 minutes, but it was a lengthy day at the ballpark, to say the least.

William Contreras, who homered in the first inning, came up empty on two occasions with the bases loaded. 

Luis Lara was also 0-for-2 with runners in scoring position, so it seems like manager Pat Murphy's decision to move him up to second in the lineup backfired.

Leaving the bases loaded twice accounts for six of these baserunners right there. In total, this team was 2-for-6 with runners in scoring position, so there wasn't as much traffic on the basepaths as it would seem.

Chourio and David Hamilton provided those two hits on a night where the Reds finished with four more hits (12) than the Brewers (eight).

Shockingly, the Brewers' eighth and ninth hitters combined for four of their eight hits. Gary Sanchez had himself a nice 2-for-3 night with a walk as he fell down to eighth in the lineup.

Then, it was Hamilton, who went 2-for-3. He was later pinch-hit for by Jake Bauers, someone who was able to draw a walk for the 14th time in his last 10 games.

In the end, none of that mattered, as this was a wacky game the team with the best record in all of baseball will want to put behind them.

The Brewers knew they had no choice but to remove Dustin May once this game resumed. For a pitcher to be sitting two hours and twenty minutes, that's simply not going to work.

May had thrown 3.2 innings where he gave up two earned runs on five hits. The recently acquired pitcher allowed a first-inning home run, but his start came to an end with five strikeouts without allowing a single walk.

Aaron Ashby came into the game with it tied 3-3, but he allowed a solo homer, which saw him fall to 13-3 on the year.

Four of the five pitchers the Brewers used in this game allowed an earned run, and three of those four allowed a homer.
