MILWAUKEE -- Aaron Hill belted a pair of home runs among his four hits and the Milwaukee Brewers defeated Cincinnati 9-5 on Friday, handing the Reds their 11th straight loss.

Jonathan Villar added three hits, while Jonathan Lucroy (home run) and Ramon Flores each finished with a pair as Milwaukee won its fourth straight.

Zach Davies (2-3) allowed all five Cincinnati runs, but three came as a result of bad luck.

He needed two pitches to retire the first two Reds before giving up a base hit to Brandon Phillps. Jay Bruce followed with a fly ball to the warning track in right, but Ramon Flores couldn't come up with the catch. Adam Duvall then crushed a 1-0 offering to left for his 10th home run of the year.

John Lamb (0-3) yielded six runs, seven hits and three walks in 3 2/3 innings for Cincinnati.

Lamb struck out three but couldn't get out of the fourth inning, despite holding a 3-0 lead before throwing his first pitch.

He walked two batters in the first inning but allowed four stolen bases as Milwaukee got on the board with a one-out sacrifice fly by Lucroy, who homered in the third to make it a 3-2 game.

Hill led off the fourth with his first home run of the game. The Brewers added two more in the frame on an RBI double by Villar and a run-scoring single from Hernan Perez.

Lamb gave way after a two-out walk to Ryan Braun.

Josh Smith didn't fare much better, serving up a ground-rule double to Lucroy that made it a 6-3 Brewers lead before Chris Carter ended the inning with a fly out to right.

Hill's second blast - his sixth of the season - came in the fifth inning and gave Milwaukee a 7-4 lead.
