Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Rickie Weeks and Cody Ransom both hit a two- run homer on Wednesday and the Brewers avoided a sweep with an 8-4 win over the Reds in the finale of a three-game series.

Zack Greinke (9-2) got the win, allowing two runs on five hits with a walk over six innings. He improved to 4-0 in six career starts against the Reds.

Aramis Ramirez added a pair of RBI for Milwaukee, which halted a season-high four-game slide.

Homer Bailey (5-6) gave up five runs -- four earned -- over four-plus innings to suffer the loss.

Ryan Ludwick hit two solo homers and Brandon Phillips added an RBI single for Cincinnati, which had won three of its previous four games.
