Brewers first baseman Eric Thames has been a one-man wrecking crew against the Reds this season with seven home runs in five games against them. He will get a chance for more damage Tuesday evening as the teams square off again at Miller Park at 6:40 p.m.

Eric Thames celebrates his first of two home runs.

Thames homered in his first two at-bats Monday night against Reds lefty Amir Garrett to tie the Brewers record with 10 home runs in April. He already has the club mark with 24 runs scored.

At present, Thames is first in the majors in home runs, runs scored, slugging percentage (.910), total bases (61), extra-base hits (16) and OPS (1.392).

Right-hander Zach Davies (1-2, 8.24) is on the mound for the Brewers, and Cincy is countering with righty Scott Feldman (1-1, 2.38).
