Adrian Houser pitches 7 innings as Milwaukee Brewers beat Cincinnati Reds 5-1

CINCINNATI — Adrian Houser pitched seven sparkling innings and Andruw Monasterio hit his first career homer, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 5-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.

Victor Caratini also went deep as Milwaukee (32-27) won for the fourth time in five games. The NL Central-leading Brewers also clinched their first road series win since they swept a three-game set at Seattle from April 17-19.

Houser (2-1) allowed six hits, including Jake Fraley’s seventh homer in the seventh. He struck out two and walked none.

“It was the command,” Houser said. “That’s where everything starts. That’s how we were able to hide stuff and be able to disguise some other pitches. Just hitting spots and attacking early. Getting those early strikes is a big thing for me.”

Cincinnati (26-33) dropped its fourth straight game. Reds right-hander Ben Lively (3-3) was charged with five runs and six hits in seven innings in his first loss since May 19. He struck out five and walked three.

“Really it was just uncharacteristic with the walks,” Reds manager David Bell said. “If anything, that was it. The rest of the innings he actually pitched well.”

Milwaukee got off to a fast start. With runners on first and second via a pair of walks, Monasterio hit a 400-foot drive to center for a 3-0 lead in the first.

“I didn’t know he had a home run to center field in him, honestly,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell. “That’s a good blast, for sure. That was impressive.”

The Brewers added two more in the fifth. Caratini led off with a 429-foot drive to right-center for his third homer of the season. Joey Wiemer then singled, advanced on Christian Yelich’s walk and scored on Owen Miller’s single to center.

Matt McLain had two of Cincinnati’s six hits. The rookie shortstop is batting .342 in his first 18 big league games.

Milwaukee optioned right-hander Jake Cousins to Triple-A Nashville and recalled left-hander Bennett Sousa.

“With this big string of games ahead of us, we just want to make sure the guys are pitching in the spots we want them to pitch,” Counsell said.

“We still got nine games left in this stretch here, seven home games, so it’s challenging. We’ve just got to make sure we’re dividing the innings the right way properly so we can make sure everyone’s got a share of the wealth.”

TRAINER’S ROOM

Reds: RHP Hunter Greene had his next scheduled start pushed back a few days due to stiffness in his right hip. He will throw again Sunday in St. Louis. Bell said Greene’s injury is “no major concern.”

UP NEXT

Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott, who was added to the club’s taxi squad Sunday, will make his MLB debut Monday night against Brewers right-hander Julio Teheran (1-1, 0.82 ERA) in the finale of the four-game series.

LaMelo Ball scores 50 points in Charlotte Hornets’ game vs. Milwaukee Bucks

The Charlotte Hornets lost a close game to the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, but LaMelo Ball’s name will still go in the history books.

Ball, 23, scored a career-high 50 points in the Hornet’s 125-119 loss to the Bucks at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. He went 17-of-38 from the field and 6-of-17 from beyond the arc in 40 minutes of play. Ball had 10 points at halftime, before dropping 40 in the second half. He finished the night with 10 assists, five rebounds and one steal.

Ball is the fifth player this season to score at least 50 points in a game, joining De’Aaron Fox (60, Nov. 15), Giannis Antetokounmpo (59, Nov. 13), Victor Wembanyama (50, Nov. 13) and Paolo Banchero (50, Oct. 28).

Ball is only the ninth player in NBA history to post a stat line of 50-plus points, five-plus rebounds, 10-plus assists and five-plus 3s in the same game, joining James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Damian Lillard, Luka Doncic, LeBron James, Steph Curry, Donovan Mitchell and Kevin Porter Jr.

“I never imagined nothing like this would happen to him, ever,” said Rickell Lovley, Bowie’s sister. “He didn’t deserve this. He had so many people who cared about him.”

Police said the shooting happened just before 9:30 p.m. One person – since identified as Bowie – died at the scene. A 23-year-old was seriously wounded.

“He had such a bright future,” said friend Zarieanna McCoy. “He really was on his business. He went to school, got his degree, he wanted to go into real estate, he was doing a notary business.”

Family members said there are still a lot of unanswered questions.

“He was just at the wrong place, wrong person there at the time,” Lovley said.

Saturday, loved ones returned to the area and sent off a sea of balloons and a swarm of goodbyes. McCoy said the prayer now is to find the person responsible.

“Just really hoping that we can get justice for him and his family,” she said.

“He didn’t deserve this,” Lovley said. “I’m so sorry that this happened to him.”

At last check, police are still looking for whoever is responsible. Anyone with information is asked to call MPD at 414-935-7360; to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 414-224-TIPS or use the P3 tips app.

USS Beloit naval warship commissioned in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE – A new naval warship was commissioned at Milwaukee’s Veterans Park on Saturday, Nov. 23.

The USS Beloit, a littoral combat ship (LCS), is roughly 380 feet long and will house 88 crew members. Ships of this kind are made up in Marinette, Wisconsin. They cost roughly $500 million to build.

As the ship’s sponsor, retired Army Maj. Gen. Marcia M. Anderson will lead the time-honored Navy tradition of giving the order during the ceremony to “Man our ship and bring her to life!” At that moment, the commissioning pennant is hoisted, and the Beloit becomes a proud ship of the fleet.

Once it is commissioned, the USS Beloit will call Jacksonville, Florida its home port.
