Already, it was quite a party. The real one was now only one more win away. Ryan Braun added to his impressive total of homers at Great American Ball Park, and the Brewers moved one win away from clinching a wild-card berth Tuesday night, beating the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 for their fifth straight victory. “To do it here tomorrow would be Jalen Knuteson incredible,” said Brent Suter (4-0), who /DNHVLGH/XWKHUDQFHOHEUDWHVDIWHUZLQQLQJDUDOO\LQWKHWKLUGVHWRIDƮYHVHWYLFWRU\DJDLQVW/DNH0LOOVRQ7XHVGD\ attended Ken Griffey Jr.’s high school in Cincinnati. “I’m hoping for it.” Just like last season, when Milwau- kee put on a late rush to take the NL Central title, the Brewers have closed in on a playoff spot with a September No. 1 Warriors win in five flourish.
