    The Milwaukee Brewers slugged three home runs in route to a 5-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night. Despite giving up three home runs himself, Eric Lauer (6-2) earned the victory. Brad Boxberger pitched the ninth inning for his first save of the season. Closer Josh Hader is still on paternity leave after the birth of his son.

    Hunter Renfroe Clobbers a 3-Run Home Run

    Hunter Renfroe got the Brewers on the board first in the fourth inning with a three-run home run. It was his 11th of the season.

    The home run was a no-doubter, as tracked by Would it Dong? on Twitter. The only ballpark in which it would not have been a home run is Fenway Park.

    Home Run 💣

    Exit velo: 110.1 mph
    Launch angle: 19 deg
    Proj. distance: 400 ft

    This would have been a home run in 29/30 MLB ballparks.
    Only Fenway Park would've held this one in.

    Renfroe finished the night 1-4 with the home run. He is now hitting .251/.297/.475 with 11 home runs and 24 RBI on the season.

    Willy Adames Hits a Solo Shot

    The next inning, Willy Adames launched his 12th home run of the season. Not only does this total lead the Milwaukee Brewers, but it is also first among all National League short stops.

    Your NL leader in home runs at shortstop, everybody!

    Unlike the Renfroe home run, Adames’ blast would have been a home run in every ballpark in MLB.

    No doubt about that one 🔒

    Willy Adames finished the night 1-4 with the home run. He is hitting .204/.285/.467 with 12 home runs and 31 RBI on the season.

    Keston Hiura Hits a Rare Home Run Against a Left-Handed Pitcher

    After the Cincinnati Reds tied the game at four in the sixth inning, Keston Hiura hit a opposite field solo home run to take the lead back in the seventh. Much has been said about how well Hiura hits right-handed pitching, so this home run against left-hander Ross Detwiler was something of a rarity.

    Hiura’s solo home run would have been a home run in 25/30 MLB parks.

    Omar Narvaez: Defensive Catcher

    Omar Narvaez was an All-Star last season, and he really should be again in 2022. The Brewers’ catcher was 0-4 at the plate, but is still hitting .274/.357/.395 on the year. He also gunned down Reds star Jonathan India on the base paths in the eighth inning.

    The Bullpen Holds the Lead

    After Eric Lauer got through one out in the seventh inning, he was pulled in favor of Miguel Sanchez. Sanchez got the last two outs of the inning before Williams came in for a scoreless eighth. As mentioned, Brad Boxberger closed the door for his first save of the season.
