Willy Adames and Gary Sánchez hit back-to-back homers in the first inning, William Contreras later added a two-run shot and the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Colorado Rockies 5-2 on Saturday night.
Rookie right-hander Tobias Myers recorded a career-high 11 strikeouts over six innings to help Milwaukee avoid a fourth consecutive loss. The NL Central-leading Brewers are the only major league team without a losing streak of at least four games this season.“We just never give up,” Myers said. “I think even when we lose a game, we always have the tying run at the plate, we always have a chance. We just always believe in each other and just fight until the end, for sure.” in the first inning.
Adames is the first Brewers shortstop ever to have a 30-homer, 100-RBI season. Hall of Fame shortstop Robin Yount, who spent his entire career in Milwaukee and owns many of the franchise's hitting records, never homered more than 29 times in a single season. Sánchez followed Adames’ homer by delivering a 418-foot shot to left center for his 10th homer of the year. Milwaukee nearly ended up hitting three straight homers, asContreras extended the lead to 4-0 in the third when he broke out of an 0 for 20 slump with his two-run shot to right-center.Those big hits provided more than enough support for Myers, who gave up just one run, four hits and one walk. The only run Myers allowed came on McMahon’s leadoff homer in the fourth.
“The kid is relentless,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said of Myers. “He's taking it all in. I think he'll continue to do that. I just told Matt Arnold back there, I said, ‘I think you’ve got a good one.' I really do. They signed this guy for a reason.”“His left hand suffered a little bit of an impact,” Rockies manager Bud Black said. “It started swelling up a little bit. It affected his ability to grip the bat.”might not return this season.
“You know in the NFL, you’ve got probable, questionable and doubtful," Black said."I’m going to say it’s questionable, but we’re running out of time.”
