MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Zach Davies has been on the mound both times his teammates have turned a triple play this season.In one season, to be on the mound for two triple plays, thats like a dolphin in Lake Michigan, Brewers manager Craig Counsel said.The triple play put an abrupt end to a first-inning threat and the Brewers got a milestone home run from Chris Carter and a late clutch hit from Ryan Braun to defeat the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 on Friday night.In the first inning, Jose Peraza singled under the glove of Milwaukee third baseman Jonathan Villar and Scott Schebler reached on an error by Villar. With the runners in motion, Joey Votto hit a shot down the first base line that Carter snagged, taking away an extra base hit. Carter stepped on first and then lobbed a throw to shortstop Orlando Arcia, who stepped on second for the third out.The Brewers turned a triple play at home on April 29 against Miami.Little bit of a flashback, Davies said. It put the momentum back on our side. To get out of that with nothing was awesome.Milwaukee has eight triple plays in franchise history.We got three outs on a play when Joey Votto was at bat. That was the biggest thing for me, Counsell said. That had a chance to be a big inning, for sure.Carter said he knew immediately of the potential for a triple play when both runners broke before the pitch.My first thought was to touch first because I knew they both ran, Carter said.Cincinnati manager Bryan Price said the runners were in motion in an effort to provide a much-needed offensive spark.The one thing that cant happen is hitting a line drive right at an infielder, he said. That was one where you just say, `Geez.Carter hit his 38th home run of the season, a career high, leading off the second against Anthony DeSclafani (8-4).The biggest thing, after last year, was bouncing back and having a good year and being consistent, Carter said.Peraza put the Reds in front with a three-run homer with one out in the fifth.The Brewers scored in the sixth on Carters RBI groundout to cut the lead to 3-2. Carter has a career-high 90 RBI.Milwaukee loaded the bases with no outs in the seventh, chasing DeSclafani. Scooter Gennett drew a walk off reliever Tony Cingrani to tie the score. Milwaukee regained the lead when Braun followed with a two-run single off Blake Wood.Brent Suter (2-1) retired the only batter he faced to get the victory.Tyler Thornburg gave up a run in the ninth but notched his 13th save in 18 tries.LOBBYING TO CATCHHernan Perez made his second consecutive start in center field and has played every position this season except catcher and pitcher. Perez has been dropping hints that he wants a chance to catch. I have walked by him, turned around, and hes there in a squat waiting to catch, Counsell said.TRAINERS ROOMReds: Price said LHP Brandon Finnegan will start the series finale on Sunday. RHP Homer Bailey (biceps) had been considered after throwing a bullpen session on Tuesday. Im just not ready to commit that (Bailey) is in the rotation, Price said. We just havent gotten to that point yet.Brewers: Pinch-hitter Jake Elmore appeared to get hit on the left hand while attempting to bunt in the fifth inning. He then stumbled out of the box and fell to the ground. He gingerly hopped on one leg after getting up before slowly walking off the field with a team trainer at his side.UP NEXTReds: Dan Straily (13-8, 3.83 ERA) is 2-0 with a 1.77 ERA in three starts against the Brewers this season. Straily has nine wins since the All-Star break, tied for the most in the National League.Brewers: Taylor Jungmann (0-4, 8.34) will make his first start since being recalled from Double-A Biloxi on Sept. 6. Jungmann, whose last start for the Brewers came on April 28, is 0-7 with a 9.35 ERA over his last 10 starts for Milwaukee.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- After rallying from a first-set loss and surviving three match points in the second, Larissa took the microphone at the Copacabana beach volleyball venue to deliver a message that even the Swiss supporters could understand.Muito obrigado, she told the screaming fans after teaming with Talita to beat Switzerland 21-23, 27-25, 15-13 on Sunday.The 1-hour, 10-minute match was the longest of the Olympics so far, and it included 27 ties and 11 lead changes. There were 15 ties and five lead changes alone in the epic 29-minute second set, keeping the fans in the 12,000-seat beachside arena on their feet long after the sun set over the Rio de Janeiro mountains.The crowd was the third player, Larissa said. Only the athletes who have played at an Olympic Games know how it is like. What matters today is that we stayed together, between us and the crowd with us, cheering at every point and still cheering now.Switzerlands Joana Heidrich sat on the bench long afterward, her head covered with a towel while her body shook with sobbing. Talking to reporters with reddened eyes, she said: Now its really bad, but I think in a few hours Ill be really happy with our results and our performances.Teammate Nadine Zumkehr also said it would take her a while to appreciate what the experience.But shes going to try.It was the best game I ever had the chance to play, she said. The audience was crazy. I really want to keep that deep in my heart for the rest of my life, because its unforgettable.The victory put the top-seeded hosts one win away from a medal. The Brazilians will face Germany, which advanced with a less-suspenseful victory over Canada earlier in the session.The night matches include American duo Kerri Walsh Jennings, a three-time gold medalist, and April Ross against Australia. Brazils other womens team of Agatha and Barbara -- thee defending world champions -- will play Russia.ddddddddddddLarissa and Talita are each three-time Olympians, but theyre teamed up at the Rio Games for the first time. Larissa won bronze in London -- losing to Ross and Jennifer Kessy in the semifinals -- but Talita has yet to reach an Olympic podium.They kept their chances alive after losing the first set and falling behind 19-17 in the second -- putting the Swiss two points from a spot in the semifinals. Switzerland could have won it at 20-19, 21-20 and 22-21, but Brazil took the lead at 24-23.After the Swiss saved a set point of their own, Talita delivered a block finish off the set. It was 9-9 in the first-to-15 third set when Brazil scored three points in a row and then held on for the win.Too bad they showed their very best at the right moments, Zumkehr said. They deserved to win, but we gave them a really, really hard win.Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst beat Canada 21-14, 21-14 earlier in their quest for Germanys first Olympic medal in womens beach volleyball. The German men won gold in London.The boys did it last time. I was in the stadium, said Ludwig, who is at the Olympics for the third time, finishing ninth and fifth with Sara Niedrig. If they can do it, I want to work hard for that as well.Canada sent the maximum of four beach volleyball teams to Rio -- one of just four countries to hit the quota. But Heather Bansley and Sarah Pavan were their last hope for a medal.A lot of athletes strive to represent their country in the Olympic Games. We got that opportunity, Pavan said. The program doesnt have the history that the American and Brazilian programs have. The fact that we had four teams here speaks loudly, and were only going to get better. ' ' '
