MILWAUKEE (AP)—The Brewers bailed out Eric Gagne again.

Rickie Weeks singled home the winning run in the 10th inning and the Milwaukee
Brewers
beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 on Tuesday night.

With two outs and two strikes in the ninth, Gagne blew his second save in three
chances
when Corey Patterson hit a homer just over right fielder Corey Hart's leap to
tie the game.

Gagne, who signed a one-year, $10 million contract this offseason to close for
the
Brewers after Francisco Cordero cashed in with a $46 million contract with the
Reds, also
blew a save on opening day against the Cubs on Wednesday.

Milwaukee won that game in the 10th and did the same against the Reds.

J.J. Hardy singled to start the inning and pinch-hitter Joe Dillon sacrificed
Hardy to second.
Jason Kendall singled off David Weathers (0-1) to right field to set up Weeks,
who hit it
just past shortstop Jeff Keppinger. Salomon Torres (1-0) got the win.


Gagne's failure overshadowed the pitching performances of Reds rookie Johnny
Cueto and
Brewers veteran Jeff Suppan. Cueto dominated the Brewers with his 96 mph
fastball and
hard slider, striking out eight in 6 1-3 innings to follow up the 10 Ks he had
in his major
league debut and victory on Thursday.

After the Brewers first six hitters started 0-for-16 with seven strikeouts
against the 22-
year-old right-hander, Bill Hall sent a hanging, full count slider in the
seventh inning
deep to the left-field bleachers, giving Milwaukee a 2-1 lead Gagne couldn't
hold.

Cueto left one batter after giving up Hall's homer. He struck Hart for the third
time before
being relieved by Jared Burton. Cueto allowed five hits and has yet to walk a
batter in his
short career.

The Brewers scratched their first run across in the third inning.

After Hardy's slow rolling single, Suppan, batting in the eighth slot, bunted
Hardy over to
second for Kendall, who delivered with a blooper just over the infield to left
that brought
Hardy home.

Milwaukee nearly did it again in the fifth after Hardy singled and Suppan
sacrificed. But
Kendall's single was too hard to right field and kept Hardy at third. Cueto
settled and
struck out Weeks on a slider in the dirt to end the inning.

In the dugout after the K, Cueto pretended to be on the mound, mimicking his
stare down
and pitching motion before busting out with a wide grin and taking a seat.

Suppan, though, kept the Reds from scoring until the seventh by relying on his
sharp
command, allowing a run on six hits and two walks. After Suppan twice worked out
of
trouble, Patterson's hot grounder got past a diving Weeks at second base to
score Joey
Votto. Suppan was done after the inning, finishing with a strikeout.

Cincinnati loaded the bases in the eighth, but it wasn't until Patterson got
back up in the
ninth and was down to his last strike that the Reds struck again.
