CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Ryan Ludwick hit a line drive that carried into the seats in left field for his first homer since last October. Custom Buffalo Bills Jerseys . The next time up, he hit the ball as hard as he can, right at the shortstop. Maybe his swing is starting to come around. Ludwick hit the most noteworthy of Cincinnatis four homers on Saturday night during a 6-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers that left their cleanup hitter with a better feeling. "Amazing," Ludwick said. "And my next at-bat, I was even more thrilled. I hit that ball harder than the home run. The swing was more pure, the ball had no sink. That ball I hit to the shortstop was the hardest ball Ive hit since Ive been here. That was my best swing since Ive been here." Zack Cozart added a tie-breaking two-run homer as the Reds piled up 14 hits, their highest total against an NL Central opponent since June 11. They evened their series at a game apiece with their 13th victory in their last 18 games overall. Bronson Arroyo (13-9) won his fourth straight start by allowing three runs, including Caleb Gindls pinch-hit homer leading off the eighth. The right-hander hasnt walked a batter in his last 29 2-3 innings. Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth for his 33rd save in 38 chances. The left-hander hit a batter and fanned three with a fastball that repeatedly registered 102 mph. "It was a good win for us as a whole," Arroyo said. "The bullpen got some rest. Weve been playing good baseball. After you take three out of four from Arizona, you dont want to lose two in a row." Ludwick and Cozart connected in the sixth inning off John Axford (6-7), who failed to hold a 2-1 lead. Joey Votto added his 19th homer an inning later off Michael Gonzalez, and Cozart singled for his third RBI. Axford had a rough start to the season, giving up runs in each of his first four appearances. He didnt give up any runs in 31 of his 32 appearances from May 15 to July 24. His inconsistency has been a mystery. "Its hard to know," manager Ron Roenicke said. "When hes right, I want him in there. But hes got to be more consistent. "Hes got to get back to that guy he was for 30 outings in a row. He was really good for a while." Chris Heisey started it with a solo homer off Wily Peralta, who lasted only five innings. The right-hander is 1-3 in five starts against the Reds this season. Last Sunday in Milwaukee, he gave up seven runs in only 4 1-3 innings of a 9-1 loss to the Reds. Ludwick tore cartilage in his right shoulder while sliding headfirst into base on opening day, sidelining him for more than three months. His homer was his first since a solo shot off San Franciscos Matt Cain during Game 5 of the Giants playoff victory in Cincinnati last season. "Its a work in progress," Ludwick said. "Im not where I want to be. Did I expect to be in midseason form? Yeah, probably. I was probably asking too much." Arroyo overcome a tough early inning. Khris Davis drove in the Brewers first run with a double in the second, extending his impressive series. He had a pair of two-run homers in consecutive at-bats for a 6-4 win on Friday night. Davis was called up for his third stint with Milwaukee when Ryan Braun accepted a 65-game suspension on July 22 for using performance-enhancing drugs. The rookie has batted .383 with eight homers since then, earning regular playing time in the outfield. Hes got a 10-game hitting streak. Scooter Gennett followed Davis double with a sacrifice fly for a 2-0 lead. Milwaukees defence cut down a rally in the fourth. Ludwick led off with a broken-bat single and tried to score from first base on Jack Hannahans double off the wall in left-centre field. Carlos Gomez got to the ball quickly and shortstop Jean Segura made a perfect relay to get Ludwick sliding into the plate.

One out away from finishing off an impressive shutout, they let a must-win game slip away. MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings changed course early Wednesday and decided in the middle of the night to put star running back Adrian Peterson on hiatus while he deals with a felony child-abuse charge in Texas. Vikings owners Zygi Wilf and Mark Wilf said they made they move after "further reflection" and concluded it was best for the Vikings and for Peterson, their All-Pro workhorse who has played his entire NFL career with Minnesota and is accused of injuring his 4-year-old son by spanking him with a wooden switch earlier this year. "We want to be clear: we have a strong stance regarding the protection and welfare of children, and we want to be sure we get this right," the Wilfs said. "At the same time we want to express our support for Adrian and acknowledge his seven-plus years of outstanding commitment to this organization and this community." At a news conference at team headquarters Wednesday, Zygi and Mark Wilf stated they made a mistake in allowing Peterson to return to the team Tuesday, and felt they needed to get it right. Mark Wilf also stated the Vikings would support Peterson through his legal and personal matters. The team said Peterson was receptive to leaving the team so that he wouldnt cause a distraction to his teammates. GM Rick Spielman wouldnt say whether or not Peterson would play again this season. Prior to the press conference, Nike announced they have suspended their endorsement deal with Peterson. The organization cited an NFL exemption and put Peterson on the exempt-commissioners permission list, meaning he is off the active roster while he deals with his legal affairs. Just a day-and-a-half earlier, the Vikings had said he would rejoin the team after missing Sundays loss to New England. The backlash to that announcement was significant. The Vikings had at least one major sponsorship suspended. Several prominent NFL advertisers, including Anheuser-Busch, expressed concern about the leagues recent off-the-field problems, which include former Ravens running back Ray Rice and the indictment of Peterson. The governor was critical. Fans were angry. Castrol Motor Oil, Special Olympics Minnesota and Mylan Inc. all severed ties with Peterson. Twin Cities area Nike stores pulled Petersons jerseys from its shelves and the team cancelled an appearance at a childrens home. "This is the best possible outcome given the circumstances," Petersons agent, Ben Dogra, told The Associated Press of the teams decision. "Adrian understands the gravity of the situation and this enables him to take care of his personal situation. We fully support Adrian and he looks forward to watching his teammates and coaches being successful during his absence." The NFL Players Association said it hhad worked with Peterson and the team to resolve "this unique situation. Vontae Davis Bills Jerseys. "Adrian Peterson made a decision to take a voluntary leave with pay to take care of his personal and legal issues," the union said. "We support this decision and hope the best for him and his family." Peterson has an Oct. 8 court appearance scheduled in Montgomery County, outside of Houston, on a felony charge of injury to a child. Peterson has taken responsibility for the incident, insisting he meant no harm and alluding to similar punishment he endured from his parents while growing up in Palestine, Texas. Peterson hasnt appeared publicly since the grand jury indictment, but in a statement this week he said hes met with a psychologist and acknowledged there are "alternative ways of disciplining a child that may be more appropriate." The case is expected to take several months to proceed through the court system, so the possibility of Peterson playing again in 2014 appears slim. His future with the Vikings is another matter. He turns 30 next year and will continue to carry a huge salary cap hit in 2015. The Vikings held Peterson out of the 30-7 loss to New England on Sunday to let the situation simmer. Then on Monday they announced Peterson would rejoin the team and play this weekend at New Orleans. But the Radisson hotel chain suspended its sponsorship with the Vikings and Papa Johns pizza considered doing the same. Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton, who spearheaded an effort to secure $477 million in public money to help build the team a new stadium, and Sen. Al Franken were among the many who called for the Vikings to reconsider their position. The Vikings said they had deliberations with the NFL over the previous two days. They said they informed the league they were revisiting the original decision. Executives were at the teams Winter Park headquarters late into the night Tuesday, discussing how to respond to the avalanche of criticism. "We embrace our role -- and the responsibilities that go with it -- as a leader in the community, as a business partner and as an organization that can build bridges with our fans and positively impact this great region," the Wilfs said. "We appreciate and value the input we have received from our fans, our partners and the community." Peterson has been the face of the franchise since he was drafted in 2007, one of the most popular and marketable stars in the NFL whose All Day Foundation charity is devoted to helping children. But the foundations website was shuttered Tuesday, at one point posting a message that it "will re-engage after Adrian, his family, and staff have reflected on how the current situation impacts the direction for Adrians philanthropy."
