Milwaukee, Aug. 26: Home runs by Joey Votto and Laynce Nix in the 13th inning Tuesday allowed the Cincinnati Reds to survive a blown five-run lead and defeat Milwaukee 8-6.

The Reds took a 6-1 lead into the ninth inning, but a fielding error by pitcher Jared Burton opened the door to a huge Milwaukee comeback.

Milwaukee scored the tying run in the ninth on a base hit by Casey McGehee and the Brewers still had the bases loaded with only one away.

Mike Cameron then lifted a fly ball to left field and Ryan Braun tried to tag up and score the winning run after the catch but left fielder Darnell McDonald threw Braun out at home to send the game into extra innings.

Daniel Ray Herrera (1-2) picked up the win with three scoreless innings in relief of Aaron Harang. Jair Jurrjens (5-5) took the loss with a run on two hits in two innings.

Nix drove in a run with a ground out in the first inning and then made it 2-0 with a double in the third after the second rain delay in the third.

St. Louis starter Kyle Lohse (4-4) left in the third inning due to a continuation of soreness in his right forearm. He was hit in the forearm by a pitch in his most recent outing, causing him to be pushed back twice in the rotation. He allowed two runs on four hits before departing.
