    Rowdy Tellez Hits Two Home Runs to Power Brewers over Rays 5-3

    Robin AdamsBy Updated:No Comments3 Mins Read

    Rowdy Tellez went almost the entire month of June without hitting a home run. In fact, from May 30 to June 21, he hit exactly zero home runs. Since then, though, he has hammered five home runs including four in his last three. In fact, Tellez’s last five hits overall have been home runs. His power bat woke up at the right time as the Brewers have now won four games in a row and remain atop the National League Central Division.

    Rowdy Tellez Hits Baseballs a Long Way

    Rowdy Tellez got the Milwaukee Brewers on the board first with a solo home run in the second inning.

    According to Would it dong? on Twitter, Tellez’s first home run would have been a home run in 16/30 Major League ballparks.

    Tellez’s second home run, another solo shot, broke a 3-3 tie in the eighth inning.

    Would it dong? calculated that this second home run would have been gone in 29/30 Major League ballparks. Only Fenway Park would have kept it in.

    Rowdy Tellez now has 15 home runs on the season, which ties Willy Adames for the most on the team. He also has a team-leading 47 RBI.

    Luis Urias and Jace Peterson Each Hit Home Runs

    For the second straight day, Luis Urias hit a monster two-run home run. His home run, his eighth of the season, gave the Brewers a 3-2 lead in the fifth inning.

    Just like his home run last night, this blast by Urias would have been gone in every single ballpark in Major League Baseball.

    Urias now has eight home runs and 23 RBI on the season.

    With the Milwaukee Brewers leading 4-3 in the ninth inning, Jace Peterson gave the Crew an insurance run with a solo home run of his own.

    Would it dong? on Twitter calculated that this home run, Peterson’s seventh of the season, would have been a home run in 28/30 Major League ballparks.

    Defensive Web Gems

    Milwaukee Brewers centerfielder Jonathan Davis made a spectacular catch that many are saying is a catch of the year candidate.

    While Davis stayed in the game to finish the inning, he was removed afterwards. Tyrone Taylor, who started the game in right field, shifted to center field. Jace Peterson came in to play right field.

    Luis Urias also had an amazing defensive play himself, though it was a little controversial in terms of whether or not he actually caught it.

    It should be noted: the Rays did not challenge the play.

    Game Notes

    • Eric Lauer continued to struggle on the mound; the left-handed starter allowed three runs on six hits and two walks in 4.1 innings pitched.
    • Brad Boxberger earned the win after pitching a scoreless seventh inning; he is now 2-1 on the season.
    • Josh Hader recorded his 24th save of the season, the most in the Majors.
    • Christian Yelich was 2-4 on the day; he now has an eight game hitting streak.

    Up Next
