Adrian Houser set the tone with a strong outing, and the bullpen followed suit with three perfect innings as the Brewers defeated the Reds 5-1 on Saturday night.
The Brewers got on the board first against old friend Chase Anderson. After a leadoff walk by Christian Yelich, Willy Adames hit a two-run home run on a hanging curveball.
Adames’ 27th home run of the year ties him for second in franchise history in home runs hit as a shortstop in a season. He’s just two homers away from tying Robin Yount’s 29 in 1982.
