CINCINNATI (AP) -- Jason Marquis ended Cincinnati's long streak of clutch-hitting futility with a run-scoring single, and slumping Jay Bruce homered and drove in three runs on Monday night, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 9-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Reds ended a three-game losing streak by beating the worst team in the majors, one that's trying everything to get going.
 
Marquis, Bruce lead Reds over Brewers 9-6
 
Manager Ron Roenicke left slumping Ryan Braun out of the lineup on Monday to change things up.
All it led to was another loss that dropped the Brewers to 4-16.
Marquis (2-1) had an RBI single during a four-run second inning that snapped the Reds' 0-for-20 streak with runners in scoring position.
