Following a quiet commerce deadline during which Milwaukee added simply two bats — catcher Danny Jansen and outfielder Brandon Lockridge — questions loomed over the Brewers offense heading into August. However in Friday’s 16–9 win over the Washington Nationals — marking the fourth time this season Milwaukee has scored 15 or extra runs in a sport, probably the most in MLB — the Brewers put collectively one of the crucial explosive offensive showcases in franchise historical past.
Regardless of a rest-heavy lineup — with Sal Frelick, Brice Turang and Isaac Collins on the bench, and Jackson Chourio positioned on the injured record with a hamstring pressure — the Brewers erupted for a 25-hit night time, tying for the third-most hits in a single sport in franchise historical past.
Catcher William Contreras led Milwaukee, setting a brand new profession excessive with 5 hits, together with a two-run residence run within the seventh. Outfielder Blake Perkins notched a milestone of his personal, launching two solo residence runs for his first multi-homer sport within the majors — his first two residence runs of the season.
