CINCINNATI, Ohio -- The pitch was low and away. Jay Bruce went with it and watched it sail just far enough to clear the left field wall. Just what the weary Reds needed. Bruce homered off Burke Badenhop with one out in the 10th inning on Friday night, rallying Cincinnati to a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in a game full of errors and wasted chances. It was Cincinnatis second straight extra-inning game. The Reds fell 6-5 in 14 innings at Wrigley Field on Thursday, leaving their bullpen depleted and their lineup still a little numb. The last thing they wanted was another long, long game. "Obviously, yesterday was pretty disheartening," Bruce said. "We were out there a long time, and I think we had a lot of guys in here who were probably a little tired. That was a big win, regardless." Bruce connected on a 1-2 pitch from Badenhop (0-3) for his fifth game-ending homer, leaving the Reds 4-7 in extra innings this season. "I told somebody earlier it never gets old," said Bruce, who has 11 homers. "I hit homers, but walk-offs are completely different. Theyre a little sweeter, especially this one because of yesterday." Alfredo Simon (5-2) retired the side in the 10th. The teams combined for five errors -- including a season-high three by Cincinnati. Bronson Arroyo hit Martin Maldonado with the bases loaded to force in a run, and Maldonado homered off him to tie it 3-all in the eighth. The Brewers put outfielder Ryan Braun on the 15-day disabled list after the game with a sore right thumb. "This is a move we tried to avoid," manager Ron Roenicke said. "After talking to him, I think this is the right way to go." The Reds have won 11 of their last 13 against the Brewers at Great American Ball Park, a hitters haven that hasnt suited Milwaukee. The Brewers stranded eight runners in scoring position on Friday, leaving the bases loaded twice. The Brewers have gone 7-6 in June following a 6-22 May that left them at the bottom of the NL Central along with the Cubs. Scooter Gennett, who was born and grew up in the Cincinnati area, had three hits off Arroyo, including his first career homer. Logan Schafer also had three hits off Arroyo. Cincinnati needed a strong start from Arroyo after depleting its bullpen in the 14-inning loss at Wrigley Field on Thursday. "I knew the bullpen was tired and I needed to go deep into the game," said Arroyo, who went 7 2-3 innings. "Luckily, they swung at a lot of first pitches. I think I only had like 30 pitches after four innings. I felt really good. I felt like I could go four more innings, or at least close it out if wed gotten three or four more runs on the board." The Brewers were without Braun for a fourth straight game. He tried to take batting practice before the game but it bothered him too much. The Brewers moved him onto the DL after the game and will make a corresponding move on Saturday. Braun is batting .304 with nine homers and 36 RBIs. The Reds scored three times off Kyle Lohse, with two of the runs set up by errors. Shin-Shoo Choo led off the first with a double, advanced and scored from third on Brandon Phillips high-hop single over shortstop Jean Segura with the infield drawn in. Zack Cozart and Ryan Hanigan singled in the second, with Hanigans hit breaking an 0-for-17 slump. Choo hit a grounder that Gennett charged at second base but couldnt handle, letting the ball skip off his glove for an error that let Cozart score. Todd Frazier singled, stole second, advanced on an error by first baseman Yuniesky Betancourt and scored on Jack Hannahans sacrifice fly for a 3-2 lead in the sixth. It was the second straight solid start by Lohse, who has pulled out of a stretch of five losses in seven starts. The Brewers signed Lohse to a three-year, $33 million deal after he went 16-3 for St. Louis last season. NOTES: The Brewers hadnt committed an error in their last nine games, a season high. ...

Jamie George has come to terms with playing a supporting role to Englands captain by accepting he is aiming for minutes not starts.Eddie Jones has made it clear that Dylan Hartley, who has presided over a 11-Test winning run, will not be dislodged as starting hooker, claiming his rivals in the position must console themselves with second-half cameos.At the front of the chasing pack is George, the Aviva Premierships joint leading try-scorer whose established set-piece expertise is being matched by a developing all-round game.On playing form alone the 26-year-old Saracen should be taking his place in the front row and while benefiting from an increasing number of minutes -- he played 29 in Saturdays victory over Fiji -- he knows Hartley is made indispensable by his leadership.Ive decided not to look at it like Im the understudy to the captain, George said. Ive just got to be ready as I can be for when the opportunity comes, whether that is seven minutes off the bench or like the half an hour I got at the weekend. I need to impress every time I get the opportunity to.Dylan is doing a great job, he leads from the front. Hes a brilliant captain of this team. The more I can impress in training, in games, the more game time potentially I get. That has been my mindset and Eddie didnt really need to tell me that. It becomes obvious.It has been going well for me, Ive been getting some good game time in the last two matches so Im pretty happy with that. Ive just got to keep working hard for when the time comes.George made his debut in a World Cup warm-up match against France in 2015 and none of his 10 caps have come as a starter.dddddddddddd.Id love to get more starts. Experience wise Ive played in a lot of big games for Saracens -- a lot of European games and a lot of finals. Ive started a lot of those games he said.With England its more about minutes on the pitch for me. The longer I can experience international rugby, the better I can be. Whether thats starting or off the bench, my main focus is minutes.Englands quest to post a 13th successive Test victory when they face Argentina on Saturday has received a boost with the availability of George Kruis, who has made a swift recovery from ankle surgery.Kruis is expected to replace the suspended Joe Launchbury in the second row and George marvels at the squads depth at lock.George brings so much to this team. His knowledge of the line-out is second to none, George said. I havent worked with too many people like him, other than maybe [forwards coach] Steve Borthwick. Hes a fantastic asset for us and a world class player.George is a light-hearted guy who likes a joke. Ive known him for a number of years at Saracens and hes one of the big characters in the squad. Hes liked by everyone.When he first came in, he built up that respect and that transfers off the field. Hes a big voice and character.The second row group weve got at the minute is unbelievable. Weve got guys like Joe Launchbury and Courtney Lawes so theres nothing to worry about. The guys that we have at our disposal is pretty scary. ' ' '
