Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Drew Stubbs crushed a go-ahead solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning Tuesday, propelling the Reds to a 4-3 victory over the Brewers in the middle portion of a three-game series at Great American Ball Park.

Sean Marshall (2-3) got the win after recording the final out of the eighth inning in relief of starter Bronson Arroyo, who fired 7 1/3 innings of no-hit ball before giving up three runs on a walk and three hits in the eighth to tie the game at 3-3.

Aroldis Chapman worked around a one-out walk and struck out three Brewers in the ninth to record his ninth save of the year, while Jay Bruce belted a three-run blast in the sixth to help the Reds win for the third time in their last four games.

John Axford (1-5) absorbed the loss for giving up Stubbs' leadoff blast in the eighth. Corey Hart clubbed a two-run double and Norichika Aoki added a run- scoring base hit for the Brewers, who have lost their last four games.
