Garrett Mitchell hits grand slam and MLB-best Brewers pound Reds 20-0 to clinch

MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Garrett Mitchell hit the Brewers' first grand slam of the
season, one of four homers for Milwaukee in a 20-0 rout of the Cincinnati Reds
on Friday night that clinched a playoff spot for the majors' best team.
William Contreras, Bryce Turang and Jake Bauers also went deep for the Brewers
(92-56), who have a commanding lead in the NL Central but for now are assured
of at least a wild-card spot. They lead second-place Chicago by 10 games in the
division, and their magic number to clinch that title is four.
Dustin May (7-9) and Garrett Stallings combined on a two-hitter while Milwaukee
pounded out a season-high 23 hits. May worked six innings, giving up two
singles to standout Reds rookie Sal Stewart in his seventh start for the
Brewers. He was acquired from St. Louis at the trade deadline.
Stallings got the last nine outs for his first save.
