Eric Thames Ties Milwaukee Brewers April Home Run Record

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames recorded his ninth and 10th home runs of the season Monday evening against the Cincinnati Reds, becoming just the second player in franchise history to total double-digit homers in April, per ESPN.com.

Thames has reached 10 home runs in just 21 games, becoming the fastest in Brewers history to reach the mark. He requires one more to break his current tie with Carlos Lee for most in team history the first month of the season and needs four more to tie Albert Pujols and Alex Rodriguez for the most home runs in April with 14.
