A day after dropping a pair of split squad games, the Brewers exploded for 10 runs on Monday during a 10-4 victory over the Royals. Of the 10 runs, seven RBI’s were collected by top prospects Garrett Mitchell, Hedbert Perez, Jefferson Quero, and Tyler Black.
The Brewers actually trailed 4-0 heading into the fifth inning of this game. Hoby Milner and Peter Strzelecki gave up runs in the third and fourth innings. Milner surrendered three hits, one walk, and was tagged with three earned runs. Strzelecki allowed one hit, walked two, and gave up one earned run.
Garrett Mitchell got the Brewers on the board in the fifth inning with a RBI single. Mitchell has gotten off to a hot start so far. In six at-bats he has collected three hits with two of them being home runs. He also has five RBI to go along with that. It is worth noting that he also threw out a base runner at home during today’s game.
Brewers top prospects account for seven RBI’s during the later stage of the game.
After Mitchell got the Brewers on the board, the Brewers ended up tying the game in the sixth inning thanks to a Mike Brosseau home run and a base hit by Brice Turang in which a run scored do to a throwing error. Turang’s hit did not count as a RBI because of the error.
