CINCINNATI -- Jonathan Lucroy slipped on his shirt, turned around and looked seriously at waiting reporters.Lets get this over with, Milwaukees All-Star catcher said.Lucroy knew hed be asked about his passed ball that allowed Billy Hamilton to dash home with two outs in the ninth inning Sunday, giving the Cincinnati Reds a 1-0 win over the Brewers.The speedy Hamilton drew a two-out walk from Tyler Thornburgh (3-3). Left-hander Will Smith relieved and walked Joey Votto.Hamilton stole third with Jay Bruce hitting, setting up the game-winning play. The curveball glanced off Lucroys glove as Bruce swung and missed and rolled away to the left. The ball didnt even get to the dirt track near the visitors dugout, still far enough away for Hamilton to easily score.It was originally scored as a wild pitch, then changed to a passed ball.The pitchers deserve better, Lucroy said. (Milwaukee starter Zach) Davies deserved better. That cant happen. Thats minor league stuff right there. I shouldve caught it. If its in the air and I get a glove on it, Ive got to catch it.Smith considered the curve particularly tough to handle.I just kind of yanked it away, Smith said. You know Lucroy is an unbelievable catcher. It happens. Thats what speed does. It makes you freak out.Manager Craig Counsell admitted that the Brewers were conceding third base to Hamilton.More bad things can happen trying to throw him out than letting him steal third, Counsell said.Tony Cingrani (2-2) pitched a perfect ninth for the win.Davies and Cincinnati starter Dan Straily each pitched seven impressive innings.Straily, who was 1-4 over his last five starts, gave up three hits, walked one and struck out four. He set down nine straight batters in one stretch and didnt allow a runner to reach second base until the sixth, when Jonathan Villar led off with a walk and stole his major league-leading 33rd base.Villar went to third on catcher Tucker Barnharts throwing error, but Lucroy grounded out to end the threat.Davies, recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs before the game, allowed four hits with no walks and five strikeouts..dddddddddddd. Four of his strikeouts were called and he coaxed four comebacks, only one hit sharply.Thats a really good example of knowing when Im locating and mixing it up, he said. I know its going right when theyre taking pitches and not getting good swings on balls.The Reds got two hits on his first three pitches, putting runners at first and third, but Davies escaped.Milwaukee put runners at first and second with two outs in the eighth against Michael Lorenzen, but Ryan Braun grounded out.NOT SO FASTReds rookie Jose Peraza was caught stealing second by Lucroy with one out in the second inning. Peraza was 13-for-13 in his brief career going into the game, including 10-for-10 this season.CONSISTENT STREAKERVillar went 0 for 3 to see his hitting streak snapped at seven games, his fourth streak of that length this season. Seven games is his season high.POWER OUTAGEReds pitching was able to keep Braun in the ballpark for the entire three-game series, a rare luxury.
