The Brewers struck first, struck fast, and were in control through Tuesday night’s 6-2 win over the Giants.
In the first inning, Willy Adames singled on his first at-bat back in the lineup as the Crew’s shortstop. Christian Yelich, extending his latest hitting streak to ten, beat the shift with a dribbler to left. Omar Narváez hit a rope to right to score Adames and move Yelich to third. Yelich was well-positioned to score on an Avisaíl García ground out. The Brewers were up 2-0 within the first 10 pitches.
Lorenzo Cain tacked on another run in the second with a lean-back solo home run to lead off the inning to bring the Brewers up 3-0.
