It was an exciting start to the week in Milwaukee as the Brewers battled the Braves. Here is a complete recap of the series and what to expect next from the Brew Crew.
Brewers vs. Braves Game One:
Final Score: 6-4 Braves
Freddy Peralta took the mound for Milwaukee facing off against Atlanta’s Mike Soroka. Peralta had a rough start, over five innings he allowed six runs. Soroka was less than stellar as well with four earned runs in six innings.
William Contreras and Jesse Winker ignited Milwaukee’s offense in the first inning. Contreras smacked an RBI double and Winker followed with an RBI single. After that Milwaukee was quiet until the sixth inning when Willy Adames clubbed a home run to drive in two more runs. Unfortunately, Adames’ home run wasn’t enough to overcome Peralta’s rough start and Milwaukee dropped game one.
Brewers vs. Braves Game Two:
Final Score: 4-3 Brewers
Adrian Houser toed the slab for Milwaukee facing off against Atlanta’s Allan Wilkins. Houser allowed three runs in six innings and struck out 10 batters, a solid start. Wilkins’ outing was rather pedestrian, he tossed 4.1 innings and allowed two earned runs.
Brice Turang’s sac fly and Blake Perkins’ RBI single ignited Milwaukee’s offense in the fifth inning. After that it was the Sal Frelick show, Frelick smacked a game-tying RBI single in the sixth inning, then hit the game-winning sac fly in the eighth. Frelick went three for three in his debut with an RBI and a couple of nice catches in the outfield as well. There was some ninth-inning theatrics but Devin Williams was able to put the game to bed.
Brewers vs. Braves Game Three:
Final Score: 4-2 Braves
Julio Teheran was on the bump for Milwaukee facing off against Atlanta’s Bryce Elder. Teheran allowed just one run in six innings, a stellar outing against his old team. Elder had a solid start as well, he allowed two runs in six innings of work.
Brice Turang ignited Milwaukee’s offense with a solo home run in the third inning, and Owen Miller followed it up with a sac fly in the fourth. Unfortunately, Milwaukee’s offense was unable to score again, and a late three-run home run allowed by Elvis Peguero resulted in a loss.
