22 Aug
Summary
- Jake Bauers hit a tiebreaking two-run homer after a long at-bat.
- Rookie Logan Henderson pitched six strong innings for the Brewers.
- The Brewers have won six of their last seven games.
Jake Bauers' decisive two-run homer capped a remarkable 12-pitch at-bat, propelling the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-1 win against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. The Brewers' pitching was anchored by an impressive six-inning performance from rookie Logan Henderson, who conceded only one run and continued his streak of solid starts.
The Brewers' offense was sparked by three unearned runs in the third inning. Despite facing a deficit, Milwaukee rallied, with William Contreras driving in the first run and Bauers delivering the go-ahead blast. Joey Ortiz added an insurance run in the fourth.
Atlanta managed an early lead in the first inning but struggled with runners in scoring position, going 1 for 7. The Braves' pitching also faced challenges, with starter Martín Pérez lasting only four innings.
This victory extended the Brewers' recent success, marking their sixth win in seven games. Conversely, the Braves' slump deepened, with this loss being their seventh in the last nine contests. Both teams are scheduled to participate in the Little League Classic on Sunday.
