MILWAUKEE - Aaron Hicks homered, doubled and scored the winning run in the 14th inning. It was a defensive play in the second that he was happiest about. Pinch-hitter Eduardo Escobar hit a sacrifice fly with one out in the 14th inning to score Hicks on Tuesday night, lifting the Minnesota Twins to a 6-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, who got six hits from Jean Segura. Hicks made a leaping grab at the centre field wall to rob Carlos Gomez of a home run in the second. Gomez watched in disbelief and then tipped his cap to Hicks. "I really like that catch," Hicks said. "I was kind of in the corner. It definitely was a tough catch. I didnt even know where I was. It was kind of one of those catches where you have to focus on the ball the whole time you are running. You have to go hard all the way." Segura went 6 for 7 — all singles — to raise his batting average to an NL-leading .365 but Milwaukee lost for the fourth straight time and 20th in 25 games. "Oh my, goodness gracious, he hits about everything you throw up there," Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said. "The guys got one of the shortest, compact swings youve ever seen in your life and he seems to be on everything." It was only the third time a Brewers player had six hits in a game, tying the team record set by Johnny Briggs in 1973 and Kevin Reimer in 1993. Ryan Doumit, Josh Willingham and Hicks homered for the Twins, which have won three of four after dropping 10 straight. Hicks hit the first pitch from reliever Burke Badenhop (0-2) for a ground-rule double to lead off the 14th. Pedro Florimon, who made a baserunning blunder to get thrown out at third in the 12th, executed a sacrifice bunt to move Hicks to third. Escobar then hit a 1-0 pitch to deep left, and Hicks scored with a slide that was a couple seconds ahead of the throw from Ryan Braun to give the Twins the lead. Despite sitting for nearly 4 1/2 hours, Escobar said he stayed ready by hitting in a batting cage near the dugout. "Its my opportunity right there," Escobar said. "Its my chance. I got a good swing." The loss was another in a series of deflating games for Milwaukee. "Its a tough loss," manager Ron Roenicke said. "Any time you go that many innings and lose its tough. We played well, came back to tie it in the ninth but couldnt put together any offence after that." Ryan Pressly (2-0) pitched two perfect innings of relief to earn the victory. Brian Duensing worked the bottom of the 14th for his first save in two chances. After Minnesota blew a 4-0 lead, Justin Morneau had a sacrifice fly in the eighth to give the Twins a 5-4 lead. Milwaukee tied it at 5 in the bottom of the ninth on Seguras fifth single of the game, scoring Jeff Bianchi from second as Twins closer Glen Perkins blew his second save. All three Twins homers were off Milwaukee starter Alfredo Figaro and the Twins opened a 4-0 lead in the fourth. Milwaukee scored three runs in the fourth and one in the fifth off Minnesota starter Scott Diamond to tie the score 4-all. Figaro allowed four runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four in five innings. Doumit hit a two-run homer in the second, and Willingham hit a solo shot in the fourth. Three batters later, Hicks hit his fourth homer to make it 4-0. Diamond gave up four runs on eight hits with two strikeouts over 4 2-3 innings. The Brewers cut it to 4-3 in the bottom of the fourth on a two-run double by Ramirez and a double by Jonathan Lucroy. Milwaukee tied it in the fifth on a two-out single by Segura and a triple off the right field wall by Braun. Braun went 2 for 5 after missing Mondays game to rest a sore thumb.

CINCINNATI -- Rookie receiver Cody Core took off toward the backfield when the ball was snapped for what he thought was a fake reverse.Instead, Andy Dalton had changed the play to a run, and Core collided with Rex Burkhead for a 2-yard loss.Oops!On the next play, Core beat a defender deep for a 50-yard catch -- the first of his NFL career -- that set up Cincinnatis first touchdown during a 32-14 win over Philadelphia on Sunday.The Bengals first win in 42 days provided a glimpse of what the rest of the AFC North can expect in the seasons final month.The Bengals (4-7-1) have finally figured out how to get their offense moving without receiver A.J. Green and running back Giovani Bernard, sidelined by injuries.Its a big difference, said Brandon LaFell, who caught an 8-yard touchdown pass. You cant just go to one guy. When the ball is shared, people are happy and everybody is out there having fun.The offense relied on Green and Bernard -- its top pass catchers -- through the first 10 games. Bernard is out for the season with a torn ACL.Green has missed most of the past three games with a strained right hamstring and is sidelined indefinitely.Its taken the Bengals a few weeks to figure out what to do without them. Opponents clamped down on the run, forcing Daltons receivers to beat them. They did often enough on Sunday as the Bengals scored on each of their first six possessions.Cincinnatis best offensive showing of the season sent a message that the Browns (0-12), Steelers (7-5) and Ravens (7-5) will have to prepare for an offense thats back on the move. The Bengals play in Cleveland on Sunday.We really pressed hard to get this monkey off ourr back and go play a big game, left tackle Andrew Whitworth said.dddddddddddd. I think were ready to build off that.Dalton completed 23 of 31 for 332 yards, a pair of touchdowns and a season-high passer rating of 130. Dalton threw to nine receivers, the way its going to be with Green out.Rookie Tyler Boyd had four catches for 66 yards. Core caught two for 58 yards, his first contribution to the offense all season, and showed hes still got some growing pains ahead when he ran into Burkhead.We switched the play, Core said. I ran the first play instead of the second play.The Bengals didnt expect to throw the ball so much, but the Eagles (5-7) set their defense to take away the run and force Dalton to go to his inexperienced receivers, who got a lot of man-to-man coverage. They came through.The guys were in the right spots and (Dalton) could count on them being there, coach Marvin Lewis said on Monday.Game notes Lewis was noncommittal on what Green will be able to do this week as he continues recovering from the severe hamstring injury. Lewis is hopeful hell be able to play at some point in December. ... RT Cedric Ogbuehi didnt get into the game on Sunday. Ogbuehi had started every game, though he began sharing the role with Eric Winston as he struggled. Winton replaced him on Sunday.
