CINCINNATI -- Jonathan Lucroy missed the two-strike pitch but got the call. His next swing produced a home run that sparked a big inning.Lucroys two-run homer started Milwaukees five-run third inning, and the Brewers rolled to a 9-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday night with their best offensive showing in nearly two months.The bottom two teams in the NL Central have split the first two games of their series.Lucroy connected off left-hander John Lamb (1-7) in the third as he continued taking advantage of the last-place Reds. The All-Star catcher is 14 for 31 (.452) against Cincinnati this season, with five of his 12 homers and 15 RBI.First, there was some controversy. Lucroy swung at a two-strike pitch that landed in the dirt, but plate umpire Quinn Wolcott heard a sound and called a foul tip, extending the at-bat. Replays indicated that Lucroy missed the ball, but the tip of his bat hit the plate, causing the sound. Lucroy initially thought his bat hit the ball but later realized hed hit only the plate.Reds manager Bryan Price immediately came out to argue but got nowhere.It was an honest mistake, Lucroy said. I dont blame (Price). I dont blame him at all. I really thought Id foul-tipped it. He (Wolcott) did, too. Thats one of those crazy things that happen during a game.When Price went out to change pitchers later during the long inning, he got into it again with the umpire, who gave him his third ejection of the season.There was more into it than that, and well leave it at that, Price said. Quinn does a great job. I have no problems with effort. We had a difference of opinion and it got out of hand.Lamb and reliever Keyvius Sampson needed 53 pitches to get through the inning as the Brewers sent 11 batters to the plate and piled up five hits, three walks and five runs for a 9-0 lead. Jimmy Nelson (6-7) faked a bunt and slapped a two-run single during the spurt.Thats something hes comfortable doing, his best offensive weapon, manager Craig Counsell said.The Brewers hadnt scored nine runs in a game since May 27, when they beat the Reds 9-5. Cincinnatis starting pitcher that game: Lamb.Hernan Perez also hit a two-run homer off Lamb, who gave up nine runs and nine hits. He left after the first five Brewers reached in the third inning. The left-hander has lost his last three starts, giving up 20 runs in 11 1/3 innings.Nelson gave up six hits and a pair of walks in seven shutout innings, emerging from his slump. He had been 0-4 with a 5.14 ERA in his last seven starts. Joey Votto had four of Cincinnatis nine hits.It felt good to be back to where I was early on, said Nelson, who has been working on pushing off harder with his legs during his delivery. My pitches seemed to have better life on them.Jonathan Villar had three of the Brewers 12 hits. Each of the top seven batters in the order scored.BREWERS MOVEMilwaukee optioned INF Yadiel Rivera to Triple-A after the game, opening a roster spot for RHP Zach Davies to be called up and start on Sunday.STATSThe eight-run margin of victory matched the Brewers biggest on the road this season.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Jets quarterback Bryce Petty never will forget his first NFL touchdown pass. He had plenty of help on the play.In his first NFL start, Petty culminated a 99-yard drive with a four-yard scoring pass on a hook-and-lateral play that lifted the Jets to a 6-3 lead over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. (The extra point was no good.)Petty, who started for the injured Ryan Fitzpatrick, threw a wide-receiver screen to Brandon Marshall, who flipped it laterally to running back Bilal Powell, who scooted around left end for the touchdown. It was a rare display of creativity for the Jets, who had been struggling this season in the red zone.It energized the crowd, which gave Petty a big ovation when he was introduced. Fed up with the interception-prone Fitzpatrick (sprained knee), the fan base had been screaming for a quarterback change.Pettys highlights ended there, however. He threw his fiirst career interception in the fourth quarter to seal the Jets 9-6 loss to the Rams.dddddddddddd. Overall, he finished 19-for-32 for 163 yards and the touchdown and interception.Fitzpatrick, hurt last week in a loss to the Miami Dolphins, didnt miss any practices during the week, but he split reps with Petty. Coach Todd Bowles decided to go with the former Baylor star, a fourth-round pick in 2015.Petty became the third quarterback to start for the Jets this season and the 29th since Joe Namath last played with the Jets in 1976. Geno Smith started earlier this season, but suffered a season-ending knee injury.Fitzpatricks knee injury, a sprained MCL, wasnt severe enough to keep him out of uniform. He dressed as the No. 2 quarterback. Rookie Christian Hackenberg was inactive for the 10th straight game. ' ' '
