Bill Hall isn't sure what it is and he doesn't care to find out, all he knows is that he likes facing the Reds.

Hall has become the offensive version of Roy Oswalt, a bona fide Reds killer. His latest crime against Cincinnati was a two-run, two-out double in the 10th inning to give Milwaukee a 5-3 victory on Saturday.

"I just know I come in here and have success, obviously I feel confident when I come in here and against the Reds in general," Hall said. "I don't care to find out. I don't want to go searching for something while things are going good. I don't want to jinx myself and hopefully it continues."

Hall went 2-for-5 on Saturday with a double and three RBIs and is now hitting .313 (80-for-256) with 52 RBIs in his career against the Reds. His RBI total against Cincinnati is the highest of any opposing team, as are his 22 doubles and 18 home runs. He homered off of Bronson Arroyo in Friday's victory.

"Obviously, when you're confident in yourself and you know you've had success before, it helps you have success. I just hope it continues," Hall said. "It was a slider away. The umpire was giving more than both teams wanted to off the plate. If you put the ball in play, you have a chance. I was just protecting. It was actually a really good pitch and I was able to put it in the gap."

Said Weathers: "It was a good pitch and he's a good hitter. He’s just killed us."

Hall was able to score Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder to give Milwaukee the lead. Weathers walked Fielder after thinking he had struck him out on an earlier pitch, but it was called a ball.

Home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt was the center of much of Saturday’s action. Wendelstedt ejected Reds catcher Paul Bako and pinch hitter Ryan Freel. Bako was tossed after a ball call on Fielder with two strikes in the eighth inning. Replays showed the ball was right over the heart of the plate. On the next pitch -- with Javier Valentin behind the plate for the Reds -- Fielder was called out looking on a ball on the outside of the plate.

Freel was ejected in the bottom of the eighth inning when he watched a called third strike.

Reds manager Dusty Baker made several trips to home plate to talk to Wendelstedt, not only on the two ejections, but also in the top of the ninth when Brewers catcher Jason Kendall was hit by a pitch from Francisco Cordero. Cordero, Valentin and Baker all thought the ball hit Kendall's bat.

"I thought I heard wood, and it didn't sound like his (elbow) pad, (Wendelstedt ) said (Kendall) was shaking his hand and I said he may have been a good actor," Baker said. "We both know in baseball etiquette what you do, but the guy had a chance to get on base, so you take it. I didn't see a replay, he said it hit his hand. I couldn't tell. I was just going by the sound, maybe he has a wooden hand, I don't know, but I doubt it. It sounded like wood to me."

That point was moot as the next batter, Rickie Weeks, looked at a called third strike from Cordero, a pitch Weeks to exception to as well.

The Reds managed only three hits off Brewer starter Jeff Suppan through 6 2/3 when manager Ned Yost brought in left-handed specialist Brian Shouse to face Joey Votto with a runner on base. Entering Saturday, Shouse had only given up a single hit to a left-handed batter in 12 at-bats.  Votto took him deep, tying the game at 3 in the seventh inning. But the Reds wouldn’t even get on base again in the game. Friday, the Reds managed only two hits against Brewer starter Ben Sheets.

"There's so many ways they can beat you, I'm not looking too into it, I'm just trying to make pitches," Suppan said. "They're obviously a very dangerous offense, but every team goes through phases during the season."

This is a phase the Reds would rather do without having lost nine of their last 12 games.

"We've got to keep fighting, that's all," Baker said. "That's all you can do."

NOTES: Reds reliever David Weathers left the game in the top of the 10th inning with a full count on Gabe Kapler. Immediately after his last pitch, Weathers signaled for manager Dusty Baker to come to the mound. "I threw the pitch and you know when something's not right. When you've pitched as long as I have you know when you make a pitch and feel something in your arm, a little burning sensation, or a lot of a burning situation, you don't want to push it. We'll see what it is later this afternoon. Before that pitch, I felt fine and I don’t have any excuses." Weathers gave up a two-run double to Bill Hall in the 10th. "Once again I had control problems, which I've had all year, and I’ve got to figure them out," Weathers said. Jared Burton relieved Weathers and struck out Kapler on one pitch. Weathers was scheduled to get an MRI on his elbow Saturday evening. …  The Brewers were the first team to see Reds rookie Johnny Cueto for a second time, and at least one Brewer was still impressed. "He's got tremendous stuff, I think he's definitely going to be a mainstay in the league," Hall said. "He's a big-time pitcher. He has a hard slider, he throws hard, has a good changeup as well. He's got really great stuff. You've got to make sure you stay patient with him because he throws anything in any count." Cueto allowed two earned runs (three total) and five hits in seven innings on Saturday and earned a no-decision.
