Yelich, Vaughn homers help power Brewers to an 8-3 win over the Nationals
MILWAUKEE (AP) – Christian Yelich and Andrew Vaughn homered, and the Milwaukee Brewers extended their winning streak to five games with an 8-3 victory over the Washington Nationals on Friday night. The Brewers scored six runs in the third, opening the inning with six consecutive hits off Mitchell Parker (5-10). The string of hits was capped by Yelich's two-run homer. Caleb Durbin doubled on a misplayed fly to right to open the inning. Joey Ortiz and Sal Frelick singled to tie it 1-all. William Contreras followed with an RBI double, and Jackson Chourio added a two-run single. Yelich then sent a 1-1 pitch 405 feet to right for his team-leading 19th homer. Vaughn's solo homer, his seventh, put the Brewers up 8-3 in the seventh. Quinn Priester (7-2) allowed two runs over the final six innings for the win. Washington has lost three of four under interim manager Miguel Cairo, who took over after Dave Martinez was fired. The Nationals took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third off opener DL Hall when Riley Adams walked, and C.J. Abrams followed with a triple to center. Contreras doubled in a run in the fourth to make it 7-1. Brady House's RBI double in the sixth cut the lead to 7-2. Adams opened the seventh with his fourth homer to make it 7-3. Key moment: After his RBI triple in the third and with the Nationals up 1-0, Abrams was thrown out at home trying to score on a bouncer to short. Key stat: Vaughn, recalled Monday from Triple-A Nashville, became the first player in Brewers history to record an RBI in each of his first four games with the team. Vaughn was acquired in mid-June from the White Sox in exchange for right-hander Aaron Civale. Up next: RHP Brandon Woodruff (1-0 1.50) makes his second start for the Brewers since coming off the IL. LHP Shinnosuke Ogasawara (0-1 13.50) starts for the Nationals.

Brewers First Baseman Latest to Unexpectedly Step Into Big Role for the Team
Brewers First Baseman Latest to Unexpectedly Step Into Big Role for the Team originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In early June, the Milwaukee Brewers found themselves in a bit of a conundrum. They were planning to call up top pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski, but to do so meant moving someone from the rotation. The choice ended up being Aaron Civale. Advertisement The choice made sense. Civale was the worst performing member of the rotation, so he was told he would be shifting to the bullpen. It wasn't a shocker, then (outside of it being so public) that he wound up requesting a trade. The Brewers didn't have much leverage in the matter seeing that Civale was a rental with an ERA around 5.00, so anything they got in return for him would have to do. They ended up striking a deal with the White Sox and received 'failed' first round pick Andrew Vaughn. Vaughn, a first baseman, was the third overall pick by Chicago back in 2019. But after parts of five seasons in the majors, he had mostly disappointed and been relegated to the minors. The Brewers brought him in hoping to tap into that potential and turn his career back around. Vaughn performed well at Triple-A Nashville while awaiting his next shot at the big leagues. He finally got it this week and immediately capitalized. Advertisement First baseman Andrew Vaughn made his presence known right away for the Brewers. After a tag play on an errant throw caused starting Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins to wind up with a sprained thumb, it was announced that he would be out for around six weeks. That paved the way for Vaughn's Milwaukee debut against the Dodgers on Monday. Vaughn announced his arrival with authority. With two on and two out in the bottom of the first against L.A. All-Star Yoshinobu Yamamoto, he ambushed a 2-2 pitch above the zone for a three-run bomb that set the tone for a dominant 9-1 Brewers win. The 27-year-old would pick up another hit and RBI in a 3-1 victory the following day before sitting the series finale. However, he would enter the game in the bottom of the ninth with the Crew down and deliver a game-tying RBI. The Brewers would eventually win 3-2 in 10 innings to complete the sweep. Advertisement Vaughn's start with the Brewers has gone just about as well as a player could imagine. It also is another example of a player contributing in a much bigger way than anyone expected. Both on the field and on the mound, the Brewers have had unexpected players step up in huge ways. If I were to ask you before the season which primary Brewers outfielder would have the highest OPS as of July 10, how many guesses would it take you to get to the correct answer: Isaac Collins? Would you have even remembered he was a possible option? Sure enough, after picking up a hit, a walk, and a steal in the final game of the Dodgers series, it's Collins leading the team's outfield unit with a .776 OPS on the season. He also sits second on the team overall behind just DH Christian Yelich. Advertisement Not bad for a Rule 5 minor league draft pick. Collins' chances of making the Opening Day roster were originally iffy considering the outfield depth that the team was supposed to have. However, a late spring injury to Blake Perkins opened the door for him to be the backup outfielder to start the season. Then in late April, starting center fielder Garrett Mitchell went down with another long-term injury which resulted in more starts for Collins in left. The more playing time he got, the more he showed how much he deserved to be a major leaguer. Collins not only has done well at the plate with a .270/.370/.405 slash line, but he has excelled in the field as well. Among left fielders with at least 400 innings played, he is tied for fifth in MLB with five defensive runs saved and first with seven outs above average. Advertisement Over on the pitching side, the Brewers did the best they could to load up on starting depth to avoid scenarios from previous years where injuries ravaged the rotation. And yet, they still ended up tapping into that depth way earlier than they planned to. One player that fans likely didn't expect to see so much on the mound was rookie Chad Patrick. Instead of being a spot starter at best like many probably imagined, he made the Opening Day roster and then made his first start in the fifth game of the year against the Royals on April 1. Patrick put up a good showing, throwing 4.2 scoreless outings on three hits and three walks while striking out five. More importantly, it helped give the Brewers their first win of the season. As the season went on, Patrick continued to get better. By the end of May, he was sitting at 3-4 with a 2.97 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP, and a .246 batting average against. His name was also being floated around as a dark horse contender for NL Rookie of the Year. Advertisement A more rough month of June plus the long-awaited return of starter Brandon Woodruff has since squeezed Patrick out of the rotation and back to the minors. His performance showed, though, that he's likely to be a big part of Milwaukee's future, both this year and beyond. Every season sees players come out of seemingly nowhere to contribute for a MLB team. Without the contributions of the above three, it's hard to imagine where the Brewers would be at this point in the season.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio hands Dodgers 6th-straight loss with walk-off hit
The post Brewers' Jackson Chourio hands Dodgers 6th-straight loss with walk-off hit appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Milwaukee Brewers, now 17-8 over their last 25 games, continued their red-hot stretch with a dramatic finish at home, as Jackson Chourio delivered a clutch walk-off hit in the 10th inning to secure a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The win handed the Dodgers their sixth consecutive loss, adding more pressure to a team caught in a midseason spiral. More notably, the win completed a historic sweep of the Dodgers, the first-ever at American Family Field. Advertisement Wednesday's game featured several compelling storylines. Chourio recorded the first walk-off hit of his MLB career, delivering a clutch moment for Milwaukee. Meanwhile, the Dodgers continued to struggle offensively. Their losing streak grew to six games, the longest for the team since 2019, with the offense managing just 11 total runs during that span. Milwaukee tied the game in the bottom of the ninth with a pinch-hit RBI single by Andrew Vaughn, capitalizing on reliever Tanner Scott's sixth blown save of the season. In the top of the 10th, Milwaukee reliever Trevor Megill struck out the side, setting the stage for Chourio's heroics. Sal Frelick began on second as the automatic runner and was moved to third by a deep fly out from William Contreras. Then came the young Venezuelan outfielder, who stepped up and delivered a single to left field off Kirby Yates to win it. Advertisement Chourio, just 21-years-old, not only delivered the biggest hit of his young career but also capped one of the club's most memorable wins of the season. It was the kind of swing that could carry momentum deep into the summer. On the mound, Jose Quintana pitched six strong innings, allowing just two hits and one run. Despite entering with a home ERA north of 5.90, he kept the Dodgers lineup off balance. Megill followed with a dominant 10th inning, striking out the side and setting up the Brewers for the walk-off win. Meanwhile, the Dodgers' losing streak continues to expose the team's inability to execute in high-leverage situations. Glasnow looked sharp in his return from the injured list, tossing five innings of one-run ball, but once again, the bullpen couldn't hold the lead. Los Angeles now sits just one game over .500 against teams with winning records. This marked only the third time Milwaukee has swept Los Angeles in a series — and the first time at home. The previous two came in Los Angeles in 2012 and 2017. As the Brewers sweep the Dodgers, the momentum may be shifting in the National League.
