MILWAUKEE (AP) - Willy Adames hit a three-run homer in the sixth and rookie Jackson Chourio added a two-run shot in the eighth to lift the Milwaukee Brewers past the Atlanta Braves 8-3 on Monday night.
Adames’ 416-foot home run, his 17th of the season, came off reliever Jesse Chavez (1-2) and put the Brewers in front 4-2. Joey Ortiz’s run-scoring triple in the seventh gave Milwaukee a three-run margin and Chourio’s homer, his 12th of the season, gave the Brewers a five-run edge.
Marcell Ozuna hit his 31st homer of the season off Milwaukee starter Colin Rea.
