Jackson Chourio breaks the game open
From bunts to a dinger, the fourth inning had it all for Milwaukee.
With two runs already on the board thanks to some blue-collar manufacturing from the Brewers, Jackson Chourio took a 1-2 fastball from Reds reliever Sam Moll and kept it fair down the left-field line for a three-run blast to put the Brewers ahead, 7-0.
It was Chourio’s second homer of the season, putting him alongside Brice Turang, who preceded the homer with a single for his second hit of the game, as the only Brewers hitters with multiple homers this year.
Bunts galore!
If you love small ball, you’ll love the Brewers’ half of the fourth.
After Sal Frelick went first-to-third on a single by Jake Bauers, Joey Ortiz tried to drop down a safety squeeze bunt. Ortiz got the ball down but hit it back to the mound, keeping Frelick from scoring.
That didn’t deter Oliver Dunn from trying the same thing. The Reds went to the bullpen for Dunn, bringing in Sam Moll for a left-on-left matchup, and Frelick scored on a first-pitch passed ball. Dunn then followed by putting down a bunt of his own, a roller up the first-base line to get Bauers home.
Two-run third opens the scoring
Milwaukee jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third against Cincinnati right-hander Carson Spiers by using some timely hitting.
Oliver Dunn led off with a single in front of a diving Jake Fraley in right and moved to third on Brice Turang’s double to left. Jackson Chourio drove Dunn in with a two-strike sacrifice fly to right before Christian Yelich made it 2-0 with a 110 mph single.
