The Brewers just snagged their third straight W, taking down the Texas Rangers 6-1! That win pushes them to an MLB-leading 84 wins for the season, and with less than a month left in the regular schedule, every game counts. While guys like William Contreras, Jake Bauers, and Jackson Chourio are staying hot, it’s Christian Yelich’s bat that’s truly woken up in a huge way.
Yelich and the Crew’s Bats Are Straight Up Scorching
Yelich came alive last night, racking up three hits, an RBI, and a double. Seriously, the guy is batting .391 with a ridiculous .462 OBP over his last seven games. Talk about being locked in! The offense started early when William Contreras delivered with two men on in the first inning, putting the Brewers up 1-0. Right after that, Yelich crushed his 21st double of the season, driving in Bauers and extending the lead to 2-0.
After a brief quiet period, Yelich sparked things again with a base hit. Sal Frelick drew a two-out walk, then David Hamilton went the other way to bring in Garrett Mitchell, making it 3-1. In the eighth inning, the Crew turned on the heat again. Contreras picked up his second RBI of the game with a base hit to center, making it 4-1. Later, after some small ball efforts from Frelick and Hamilton, Chourio poked one through the left side for a 5-1 lead. And just to rub it in, Contreras added his third RBI of the night to cap the scoring at 6-1. What an offensive explosion!
This Kid Henderson Is Legit Making History
But let’s talk about Logan Henderson, because WOW. The Rangers got a rude introduction to one of baseball’s best young arms last night as Henderson picked up his first of seven strikeouts. After that, Texas managed only one more hit, a solo home run from former Brewer Danny Jansen in the third. Henderson was dominant, going the rest of the way on only 91 pitches!
This guy is stacking up accolades. Following last night’s stellar start, he now boasts the second-lowest ERA in his first 19 career starts with a 2.30 ERA. The only legend above him is Bill Parsons, who had a 2.27 ERA. That’s serious company Henderson is keeping! After Henderson’s fantastic outing, Aaron Ashby and DL Hall shut down the Rangers in the final two innings, with Hall striking out the side to seal the win.
The Brewers are going for the series win tomorrow night, with Shane Drohan set to take the mound. You can catch all the action tomorrow at 7:15 p.m. on FOX. Don’t miss it!
