MILWAUKEE - The Brewers' biggest comeback in franchise history came at the expense of the Reds' biggest collapse since 1930.
Bill Hall's squeeze bunt in the 10th inning scored Trent Durrington from third, completing Milwaukee's rally from a nine-run deficit to beat Cincinnati 10-9 Wednesday night.
"To be able to persevere and keep plugging away and win the ballgame, it's a tremendous win for us," Milwaukee manager Ned Yost said.
Hall tied the score at 9 with a three-run double in the eighth one night after hitting a two-run home run with two outs in the ninth to give Milwaukee a 9-8 victory over the Reds.
"I never had a walkoff homer or a walkoff squeeze, especially two nights in a row," said Hall, a reserve infielder. "I just wanted to get a good pitch that I could get down."
Durrington led off the 10th with a ground-rule double off Todd Van Poppel that hit the top of the rightfield wall. Scott Podsednik, who had four hits, sacrificed Durrington to third before Hall bunted him in on the first pitch.
Yost said calling the squeeze made him "real nervous."
"You just take your chances, try to win the ballgame right there," Yost said.
The squeeze took the Reds by surprise.
"It was a good move by Ned," Cincinnati manager Dave Miley said. "We thought if they were going to squeeze, it wouldn't be on the first pitch."
Dave Burba pitched the 10th for the victory as Milwaukee's relievers held Cincinnati to two hits the final six innings.
The Reds wasted a 9-0 lead Sept. 28, 1930, falling to the Cubs 13-11 at Wrigley Field.
Milwaukee's best comeback was from an 8-0 deficit against Cleveland on May 20, 1986, when the team was in the American League. The Seattle Pilots also rallied from an eight-run deficit in 1969 against the Washington Senators.
CUBS 4, D'BACKS 3: Steve Finley hit three home runs, but Alex Gonzalez hit a tiebreaking homer in the ninth as visiting Chicago avoided a three-game sweep.
Gonzalez homered off Matt Mantei to help the Cubs snap Arizona's three-game winning streak after Finley's third shot tied it at 3 in the eighth.
Arizona's Richie Sexson left with a strained left shoulder and probably will be placed on the 15-day disabled list, manager Bob Brenly said. An MRI exam is planned for today.
PHILLIES 6, CARDINALS 3: Pinch-runner Marlon Byrd scored on an infield grounder to snap a tie in the ninth and rookie Ryan Madson pitched four innings of one-hit relief for Philadelphia.
Edgar Renteria had two RBIs for St. Louis, which fell to 3-9 at home. That's its worst start since it was 3-9 in 1990. Pat Burrell had a two-run double, giving him five hits and five RBIs the first two games of the series, for the Phillies.
GIANTS 10, BRAVES 7: Michael Tucker moved into the leadoff spot and homered among his three hits and drove in two for host San Francisco. The Giants snapped a string of three series losses, winning for the fourth time in 14 games.
Barry Bonds went 1-for-3 with two intentional walks and was the only Giants player without a hit until he singled to right in the eighth.
PIRATES 4, ASTROS 2: Raul Mondesi hit a tiebreaking double in the eighth and Josh Fogg shook off three consecutive terrible starts to lead host Pittsburgh.
Mondesi ended an 0-for-17 Pirates streak with runners in scoring position with his two-run double down the leftfield line off Roy Oswalt. Jack Wilson started the Pirates eighth with a single, and Jason Kendall walked.
DODGERS 3, METS 2: Dave Roberts hit a two-run homer and Adrian Beltre also homered for host Los Angeles. Odalis Perez allowed seven hits and walked two in six innings but held New York to two runs.
MARLINS 9, ROCKIES 4: Alex Gonzalez homered, and Josh Beckett pitched seven innings for visiting Florida. Gonzalez played after appealing his suspension. Miguel Cabrera, Mike Lowell and Hee Seop Choi also homered for the Marlins.
PADRES 5, EXPOS 4: Rookie Khalil Greene tripled in Ramon Hernandez to cap a three-run rally in the eighth for host San Diego.
