CINCINNATI (AP) — Corbin Burnes struck out the side in the sixth inning after nearly collapsing in the fifth in oppressive humidity, Victor Caratini singled in a run in the seventh and Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 1-0 on Friday night.
After his 10th strikeout, Burnes squatted behind the mound with his head lowered as teammates and trainers rushed over. Burnes took several big gulps of water and spoke to the training staff. He took a couple of warmup pitches, then retired Matt McLain on an infield pop to end the inning.
The game-time temperature was 91 degrees with the high humidity. Burnes (8-5) struck out 13 in six innings. He allowed only two hits and two walks to help the Brewers tie the Reds atop the NL Central standings.
Devin Williams closed for his 21st save.
Cincinnati starter Graham Ashcraft (5-6) allowed three hits through six innings.
DODGERS 6, METS 0
NEW YORK (AP) — Julio Urías combined with three relievers on a one-hitter as Los Angeles extended New York’s losing streak to three games.
Urías (7-5) pitched six innings and allowed only a leadoff double to Brandon Nimmo that was initially ruled a home run.
Mookie Betts hit a bases-loaded RBI single and Freddie Freeman followed with a two-run double after the Dodgers were held hitless by Justin Verlander for 4 1/3 innings despite drawing six walks.
Miguel Rojas added an RBI single in the sixth off David Peterson as the Dodgers won their fifth straight and 13th in 18 games. All-Star slugger J.D. Martinez padded the lead in the eighth with his 23rd homer and Will Smith capped the scoring with a groundout in the ninth.
Verlander (3-5) allowed three runs and two hits in five innings.

Blue Jays right-hander Trevor Richards (1-1) pitched 1 2/3 innings for the win despite giving up a homer to Gabriel Moreno.
