Death. Taxes. Eric Thames dingers.
The Brewers majestically-bearded first basemen tied Jeromy Burnitz’ club record for consecutive games with a home run as his third inning clout gave the Brewers the lead for good in a thrilling 6-3 victory against the World Champions Monday night.
The game’s first few frames foretold a back-and-forth slugfest, as both teams traded runs to open the game. Ryan Braun kicked off the scoring in the first with his fifth tater of the year, a two-run shot that sparked a second chorus of boos from the Wrigley faithful who have never benefited from the services of a PED user.
