MILWAUKEE -- A subdued Bronson Arroyo captured the mood in a sombre Cincinnati locker room Sunday after the Reds blew a late three-run lead and lost to the Milwaukee Brewers 6-5 on Sean Haltons game-ending home run. Bartolo Colon Jersey . "That is probably as crushing of a defeat as weve had all year," Arroyo said. The loss dealt a blow to Reds pursuit of the NL Central title, although the team still has a hold on one of the wild-card spots. Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said his team is feeling the pain of the loss. "We can still finish strong, but that is not going to take away the sting we feel today," Baker said. "You have to feel the sting today and get over it tomorrow because we have another series tomorrow. This does hurt. It really hurts." Haltons home run with one out in the ninth came off reliever Zach Duke (1-2), the fifth Cincinnati pitcher. It was Haltons third homer of the season and first career walk-off. "As a kid growing up, I wanted to be a baseball player and a major leaguer. Thats the top of the mountain," Halton said. Haltons big blow came after Brewers outfielder Carlos Gomez made a game-saving catch on a deep drive by Jay Bruce with two runners on and two outs in the top of the ninth. Gomez extended over the centre field fence to take away a home run from Bruce. "Same thing happened to us last time we came in. Gomez robbed us of a potential game-winning home run," Baker said. "I thought Jay got that ball." Gomez also threw out Brandon Phillips at third base earlier in the game. "Im expecting (Bruce) to hit the ball to centre field or the gap because hes an aggressive hitter and I moved a few steps to the right side and I could follow the ball all the way through and get close to the fence," Gomez said. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke noted that Gomez has made several home run-saving catches this season. "That was really well-timed. He knew he had plenty of time, plenty of distance away from the wall," Roenicke said. "Hes good at it. Hes made a lot of them." Bruce said the Reds need to put the loss behind them. "It is not always going to go our way, but there are 12 or 13 games left. We are fine," he said. "Obviously we would have liked to play better this series, but we cant change the past now. You have to go forward and take advantage of the opportunities in front of us." Jean Segura sparked an eighth-inning rally with a two-run triple after Reds relievers walked the first two batters of the inning. Jonathan Lucroy followed with a sacrifice fly to tie it. Jim Henderson (4-5) pitched a scoreless inning in relief to pick up the win. The Brewers survived a shaky outing by starter Yovani Gallardo, who was tagged for five runs on seven hits over six innings. He walked three and struck out five. Arroyo surrendered two runs on three hits over 6 1-3 innings. He walked four, struck out one and didnt give up a hit until Segura singled leading off the fourth. "I felt good through the sixth, but I was having a little bit of control problems with my sinker, it was moving too much off the plate," Arroyo said. Arroyo got into a bit of trouble in the seventh, walking the first two batters before retiring Caleb Gindl on a fly ball. He departed after issuing his third walk of the inning. The Brewers then scored a run on a fielders choice before Cincinnati reliever Sam LeCure retired Jeff Bianchi on a groundout to end the threat. The Reds got on the board in the first inning when Gallardo laboured through a 39-pitch inning. Phillips had a run-scoring single, Ryan Ludwick drew a bases-loaded walk and Zach Cozart delivered a sacrifice fly to help the Reds jump out to a 3-0 lead. Todd Fraziers RBI single with two outs in the third extended Cincinnatis lead to 4-0. Gindls leadoff homer in the fifth gave Milwaukee its first run of the game, cutting the lead to 4-1. Fraziers homer leading off the sixth pushed the Reds advantage back to four. NOTES: Reds RHP Johnny Cueto, who hasnt pitched since June 28 due to an injured back muscle, is scheduled to start Monday against Houston. ... Arroyo reached 30 starts for the ninth consecutive season, an active streak bettered only by Torontos Mark Buehrle, who has done it 13 years in a row. Jeff Mathis Rangers Jersey .ca.

The former world No. 1 Djokovic won the first 11 games in steamrolling Kazakhstans Andrey Golubev 6-0, 6-1, 6-4 in a mere 87 minutes at the famed All England Club, while the third-seeded Murray also played very clean tennis in taking care of Belgian David Goffin 6-1, 6-4, 7-5. Murray popped eight aces in the predicable just-over-two-hour affair versus Goffin. The French Open runner-up Djokovic titled here in 2011 and was last years Wimbledon runner-up to his good friend Murray. Djokovic, playing his first grass-court tennis of the year, is the top seed at this fortnight, despite being ranked second in the world behind French Open champion and two-time Wimbledon winner Rafael Nadal. "It was a great start," Djokovic said after moving on Monday. Up next for the six-time Grand Slam titlist will be 35-year-old Czech veteran Radek Stepanek. Murray has won 14 straight matches at the AEC, where he captured an Olympic gold medal in 2012 before giving Great Britain its first male Wimbledon singles champion in 77 years last year. Murray entered and exited Centre Court to standing ovations on Day 1. "It was nice," Murray said. "I was nervous this morning, nervous yesterday. Walking through brings back a lot of good memories. I got a nice round of applause and once you sit down in a chair its time to get ready for this year and move on from last year." Among those in the Royal Box for Murrays match were his father and grandparents and former NBA superstar Shaquille ONeal. Murrays new coach, former womens Wimbledon champion Amelie Mauresmo, sat in the front row of the guest box. Up next for Murray will be 23-year-old Slovenian Blaz Rola, who was the 2013 NCAA singles champion while playing at The Ohio State University. Sixth-seeded former Wimbledon runner-up Tomas Berdych joined Djokovic and Murray in the round of 64 with a come-from-behind 6-7 (5-7), 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 victory over Romanian veteran Victor Hanescu, while seventh-seeded David Ferrer held off fellow Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta 6-0, 6-7 (3-7), 6-1, 6-1.

The surging Bautista Agut captured his first-ever ATP-level title, on grass, last week in The Netherlands. Several other men advanced, including Stepanek, Rola, Frenchmen Jeremy Chardy and Gilles Simon, Aussie Bernard Tomic, former Aussie Open runner-up Marcos Baghdatis, and German Benjamin Becker, who was the runner-up in The Netherlands last week.
