Milwaukee Brewers
At least the Milwaukee Brewers are coming home happy. They snapped a six game losing streak by beating the San Francisco Giants 7-3 Sunday afternoon at Oracle Park. Adrian Hauser made his first start of the year and got staked to a 2-0 lead in the top of the second when William Contreras whacked a two run homer to left field. Hauser gave the two runs back in the bottom half of the inning but made it through four and two thirds, allowing just the two runs on seven hits while striking out five. Willy Adames did the rest of the heavy lifting for the offense, lifting a sacrifice fly to give the Brewers a 3-2 lead and he hit the 100th home run of his career in his next at bat. Adames finished with four runs driven in. Christian Yelich drove home and insurance run late and the Milwaukee bullpen was able to finish the job with Joel Payamps getting the win relief. As bad as the losing streak was, the Brewers actually gained ground in the NL Central race, pulling to within a half game of first place Pittsburgh, mired in a 7 game skid after a 10-1 loss to Toronto. Milwaukee returns home with a 19-15 record and they’ll welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers to start a home stand at American Family Field on Monday night. Freddy Peralta will face Tony Gonsolin in game one of the three game series. Pre-game coverage begins at 6:05 PM with a 6:40 PM first pitch on WTAQ.
