MILWAUKEE -- Brewers first baseman Eric Thames left Wednesday's game at Miller Park in the middle of Scott Schebler's at-bat leading off the top of the eighth inning with a member of Milwaukee's athletic training staff at his side. The abrupt exit in Milwaukee's 9-4 victory marked an official end to his bid for a home run in every game against Cincinnati this season.
The Brewers did not immediately announce the reason for Thames' early departure. He appeared to be stretching his left hamstring before the pause in the game.
MILWAUKEE -- Brewers uber-utility man Hernan Perez quietly set a Major League record in Tuesday's 9-1 win over the Reds.
