Yelich homers and Megill escapes a 9th-inning jam as the Brewers top the Cardinals 3-2
Christian Yelich homered, and Trevor Megill escaped a jam in the ninth inning, sending the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3–2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday in the finale of a four-game series. Drew Avans and Sal Frelick each drove in a run for Milwaukee, which won for the fourth time in six games. Yelich had three hits, and Caleb Durbin went 2 for 3. Iván Herrera hit his eighth homer for St. Louis with two out in the eighth inning. Willson Contreras also drove in a run. The Cardinals wasted a prime scoring opportunity against Megill in the ninth. Nolan Arenado hit a leadoff single on the 12th pitch of his at-bat, and Nolan Gorman followed with a bunt single. The runners advanced on a one-out wild pitch, but Megill fanned Victor Scott II and Masyn Winn for his 15th save in 17 opportunities. It was the Brewers' third win of the four-game set. Yelich hit a solo drive in the fourth for his 14th homer, and Avans' sacrifice fly off Miles Mikolas gave Milwaukee a 2–1 lead. It was Avans' first career RBI. The Brewers added another run in the seventh on Frelick's groundout. Mikolas (4–4) struck out seven in six innings. Quinn Priester (5–2) pitched six innings of one-run ball in his fourth consecutive win. He struck out three and walked none.

Brewers Claim Speedy Outfielder From Athletics In Bid To Bolster Roster Depth
Brewers Claim Speedy Outfielder From Athletics In Bid To Bolster Roster Depth originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Milwaukee Brewers have made a roster move in the midst of Sunday's finale against the San Diego Padres. The team announced that they have claimed outfielder Drew Avans off waivers from the Athletics. Advertisement Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was first to report the move. The Brewers had an open 40 man roster spot following Tyler Alexander's DFA last week. That spot is now filled with Avans, who has been immediately optioned to Triple-A Nashville. Avans is a 28 year old speedy outfielder that just got his first taste of the big leagues this year with the Athletics. © Allan Henry-Imagn Images While Avans' MLB debut did not go particularly well, getting just two hits in 15 ABs, he's put up some strong numbers in Triple-A. He's been at Triple-A since 2021, with most of those years coming in the Dodgers organization. He signed with the A's as a minor league free agent ahead of the 2025 season. Advertisement This year, Avans is hitting .328/.414/.444 with four homers, 16 stolen bases and 30 walks to 31 strikeouts. Avans has stolen at least 20 bases in every season of his pro career except for one and his career high is 40 steals. The Athletics DFAed Avans on Friday. The Brewers have been lacking some outfield depth since Garrett Mitchell and Blake Perkins have been on the IL most of the season. Daz Cameron has been the backup outfielder for Milwaukee and has just a .522 OPS since being called up. They don't have many options in the upper minors to call upon, so Avans provides some additional depth. He's a left-handed hitter, so he makes for some redundancy as the Brewers have a bevy of lefty hitting outfielders. The Brewers also have MLB veteran Eddie Rosario down in Triple-A. Advertisement Perhaps Avans' speed and on-base ability will be able to translate if he's given some run in Milwaukee that he wasn't able to find with the Athletics.
