MILWAUKEE -- With Jonathan Lucroy no longer around, the Milwaukee Brewers have needed Ryan Braun to carry an even heavier offensive load.Braun continued his torrid second half by hitting two homers, doubling and driving in six runs Sunday as the Brewers avoided a sweep with a 7-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds.Hes really locked in and producing, for sure, Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said. We were worried a little about what would happen after losing the hitter (Jonathan Lucroy) behind him, but hes responded really well and hes certainly been swinging the bat great.Braun hit a two-run double in the first inning, a three-run homer in the second and his 22nd home run in the fourth.It was Brauns fourth multihomer game of the season and the 26th of his career. He is hitting .381 (32 for 84) with nine home runs and 21 RBI in 23 games since the All-Star break.Over the last couple weeks Ive swung the bat pretty well and the pitches that I have gotten to hit, I havent missed many of them, Braun said. Thats what leads to sustained success.Joey Votto homered, doubled and drove in all three Reds runs.Wily Peralta (5-8) allowed one run on four hits over six innings to earn his first win since June 11.Making the most of a second chance, Peralta has a 2.25 ERA in two starts since being recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Aug. 8. He was clocked as high as 99 mph Sunday.It feels great, Peralta said. I think Im in good shape right now. My mechanics have been pretty good. Thats one of the reasons my velocity has been there, has been up in my last few starts. Just being consistent in my delivery, thats all.Rookie Cody Reed (0-7) was tagged for six runs on five hits and three walks before being pulled after Brauns home run in the second. Braun homered later off reliever Keyvius Sampson.Reed needed 46 pitches to get through the first inning. Nine Brewers came to the plate, combining for two hits, three walks, a hit batter and four stolen bases.I just wasnt making very good pitches, Reed said. Its not like Im trying to make bad pitches. I just, like I said, getting out there and compete the best I can, and Im not giving my team a very good chance to win. Ever since Ive been here, every time I go out, Im not giving them a very good chance. Its frustrating for me.Billy Hamilton had three hits for the Reds, including two doubles.

When Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn announced on Friday that welterweight titleholder Kell Brook would move up two weight classes to challenge the fearsome Gennady Golovkin for his middleweight belts, he also promised to give fans a packed show with multiple world-title fights and some of the biggest names in British boxing.Hearn began to deliver on Monday, announcing that flyweight world titleholder Johnriel Casimero will defend his belt against Charlie Edwards on the card, which will take place Sept. 10 (HBO in the United States, Sky Box Office in the United Kingdom) at the O2 Arena in London.A former junior flyweight world titleholder, Casimero (22-3, 14 KOs), 26, of the Philippines, moved up in weight and traveled to Thailand to challenge Amnat Ruenroeng, who beat him by unanimous decision 13 months ago.?They met in a rematch on May 25 in China and Casimero knocked out Ruenroeng in the fourth round to claim the 112-pound belt. Casimero will be making his first title defense against Englands Edwards, 23, who is inexperienced as a professional but was one of the Great Britains top recent amateurs.Edwards (7-0, 3 KOs) turned pro in January 2015 and will be taking a tremendous step up in class of opponent.Many people may think this is too early, but believe me when I say this: That IBF world title iss coming home with me, Edwards said.ddddddddddddPeople underestimate my engine. Halfway through the fight, when hes behind, he will not be catching up. I didnt turn pro to knock over journeymen. Im in this game to take over the lighter weight divisions. The team behind me know I am more than ready for this and I would like to thank them, Eddie and Barry Hearn for giving me this chance. I wont let anybody down.In a tuneup fight for his title shot, Edwards will be in action on Saturday in Berlin, where he will face Jose Aguilar (16-25-4, 6 KOs), 31, of Spain, in a scheduled six-round bout on the undercard of super middleweight titlist Giovanni De Carolis defense against Tyron Zeuge.This is a huge gamble for Charlie at this stage in his career, but him and the team feel very confident they can beat Casimero, Eddie Hearn said. At flyweight, there is only so much experience you can gain, and this is a huge opportunity for him to become world champion on home soil in what will be just his ninth fight.Sept. 10 is the biggest night in world boxing so far in 2016, and Im delighted to provide this opportunity for Charlie. I believe Britain will have yet another world champion that night. ' ' '
