Edwin Encarnacion and Paul Bako hit consecutive homers off Eric Gagne in the 10th inning, and Ken Griffey Jr. followed with a run-scoring single that gave the Cincinnati Reds a 4-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers today.

The Reds won for only the second time in their last nine games.

Encarnacion helped the Brewers pull ahead 3-1 in the top of the 10th with a fielding error, booting a grounder as he hurried to try to start a double play.

Then Gagne (1-1) gave up Encarnacion's second solo homer of the game and Bako's first homer of the season to open the inning. He left after walking Scott Hatteberg.

Brandon Phillips had a one-out infield single off Salomon Torres, and Griffey singled over the head of right fielder Corey Hart to end it.
