Jake Cave hits an RBI single in the 10th inning to lift the Rockies over the Brewers 8-7
DENVER (AP) — Jake Cave came through with a bases-loaded single over a five-man infield in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Colorado Rockies an 8-7 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night.
Brenton Doyle homered twice and Charlie Blackmon went deep on his birthday for the third time in his career to help the Rockies outlast the Brewers.
William Contreras homered among his three hits for Milwaukee, finishing a triple shy of the cycle. Willy Adames had three hits, including an RBI single to ignite a three-run eighth that put the Brewers back in front 7-6.
Doyle homered for the second time in the game, a two-out solo shot in the bottom of the eighth off Elvis Peguero, to produce the fourth tie of the night at 7-all.
Tyler Kinley (4-1) picked up the win with a scoreless 10th inning, getting out of a jam by striking out Garrett Mitchell.
Pinch-runner Aaron Schunk began the bottom of the 10th as the automatic runner at second base. He advanced to third when Michael Toglia fied out against Joel Payamps (1-5). Milwaukee then intentionally walked Doyle and Nolan Jones to load the bases. The Brewers brought in an outfielder to load the infield with an extra defender, but Cave lined a clean single into the wide-open outfield to score Schunk with the winning run.
Milwaukee took a 4-3 lead on Contreras’ solo homer in the fifth, which came after plate umpire Brennan Miller ejected Pat Murphy. Miller tossed the Brewers’ manager for arguing a call that Joey Ortiz ran out of the baseline while eluding pitcher Austin Gomber’s tag on a bunt.
Colorado regained the lead with a pair of runs in the fifth and added another in the sixth on Jones’ run-scoring double.
The Rockies bolted to a 3-0 lead behind Doyle’s two-run drive to straightaway center field off Bryse Wilson in the second and Blackmon’s solo shot off Wilson in the third.
Blackmon, who turned 38 on Monday, got the green light on a 3-0 pitch and drove Wilson’s offering 431 feet to center field. He also homered on his birthday in 2022 against Arizona and 2011 versus Kansas City, which also was the first of his 14-year major league career.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Brewers: Ortiz returned to the starting lineup for the first time since leaving last Wednesday’s game against Texas with neck stiffness. He did make an appearance Saturday as a pinch runner against the Cubs. … Mitchell was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and made his season debut when he entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh. He was placed on the IL in late March with fractured left index finger.
Rockies: OF Kris Bryant, sidelined the last month because of a bruised left rib, resumed baseball activities for the first time since sustaining the injury. It’s anticipated he’ll go on a minor league rehab assignment before rejoining the big league club. … RHP Germán Márquez is slated to leave for Double-A Hartford in the next day or two for another rehab outing in his ongoing bid to return from Tommy John surgery. Márquez missed most of last season after undergoing reconstructive elbow surgery in May 2023.

Can Dallas Keuchel help the Brewers solve injuries in rotation?
Todd Rosiak and JR Radcliffe discuss the first outing for Brewers pitcher Dallas Keuchel. It’s a creative option to assist the team’s rotation woes.
The Milwaukee Brewers, leading the National League Central at 51-35 entering play Wednesday, have a problem.
They have too many good players.
It’s a good problem to have, of course, when trying to win baseball games. However, it makes voting for all-star teams a little tricky.
The Brewers already have two confirmed all-stars starters: catcher William Contreras and outfielder Christian Yelich.
Contreras has made his second all-star team in two years, while Yelich adds a third all-star appearance to a trophy case stacked with an MVP, Gold Glove and three Silver Sluggers.
Several Brewers, though, are vying for their first all-star nod.

Brewers acquire pitcher Aaron Civale in trade with Rays
MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee has acquired veteran right-hander Aaron Civale from the Tampa Bay Rays in the NL Central-leading Brewers’ latest attempt to boost a starting rotation that’s been decimated by injuries.
The Brewers are sending minor league infielder Gregory Barrios to Tampa Bay in exchange for Civale. They designated right-hander Taylor Clarke for assignment to make room for Civale on the 40-man roster.
Civale, 29, has gone 2-6 with a 5.07 ERA in 17 starts this season. He has struck out 84 and walked 27 in 87 innings. Civale has a 3.82 ERA over his last seven outings.

He fared better last year, going 7-5 with a 3.46 ERA in 23 combined starts for Cleveland and Tampa Bay.
Civale owns a 33-32 record with a 4.10 ERA in 103 career starts. He will be arbitration eligible after the season and is under club control through 2025.
Barrios, 20, was batting .325 with a .367 on-base percentage, one homer, 34 RBIs and 18 steals in 61 games for the Brewers’ Single-A Wisconsin affiliate.
This move comes eight days after the Brewers acquired left-hander Dallas Keuchel from the Seattle Mariners. Keuchel, the 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner, has gone 0-0 with a 6.75 ERA in two starts with the Brewers.
Milwaukee owns a six-game lead in the NL Central despite getting just 406 total innings from its starting pitchers, the second-lowest total of any major league team. The San Francisco Giants have gotten 402 innings from their starting pitchers.

Fifteen different pitchers have started games for the Brewers this season, which represents the highest number for any MLB team.
Milwaukee traded 2021 NL Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes to the Baltimore Orioles before the season and knew going into the year that two-time All-Star Brandon Woodruff wouldn’t pitch at all in 2024 while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.
Wade Miley and Robert Gasser have undergone Tommy John surgery and will miss the rest of the season. Other Brewers pitchers on the injured list include starters Joe Ross (lower back) and DL Hall (left knee), two-time All-Star closer Devin Williams (back) and relievers Jared Koenig (left forearm) and JB Bukauskas (right lat).

Ranking young Milwaukee Bucks players based on potential after NBA Draft
The 2024 NBA Draft has come and gone, free agency has just begun and the Milwaukee Bucks have made just a few small tweaks to their roster thus far.
In addition to adding Delon Wright in free agency, the Bucks have added three players. AJ Johnson and Tyler Smith were taken in the first and second rounds of the draft, respectively, and Stanley Umude signed free agency on a two-way deal.
So, how many 25 and under players do the Milwaukee Bucks have and what is their potential level?
The Milwaukee Bucks, including two-way players, have nine players who are 25 or younger, starting with the previously mentioned Umude, who is 25.
Stanley Umude joins Ryan Rollins and Jaylin Galloway as the two other players on two-way contracts for the Bucks. For the sake of looking at potential, the two-way guys will be the first three discussed, and then we’ll count down the rest.
Stanley Umude played in 24 games for the Detroit Pistons in 2023-24 for an average of about 13 minutes per game. In those games, he averaged 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and less that one of everything else. However, his shooting could give some folks cause for optimism, as he shot 44 percent on field goals, 45.3 percent on 3-pointers and a low 58.3 percent on free throws.
The other interesting part of Umude is his build. Umude is a very intriguing size, standing at 6-foot-6 with a 6-foot-10 wingspan, so he’s definitely got the length to play good weak-side defense to pick off passes wherever he stands.
The Milwaukee Bucks grabbed a couple of other players to put on two-way contracts last season in Ryan Rollins and Jaylin Galloway. Rollins was definitely the more impressive of the two, and the playing time and numbers reflect that.
Jaylin Galloway was brought to the Bucks at the beginning of March and played just seven games for the Wisconsin Herd for about 20 minutes per game. In that decent chunk of time, Galloway scored just 4.7 points per game, grabbed just 3.4 rebounds per game, had 1.4 assists, 1.1 turnovers and 1.3 blocks per game.
Galloway had some rough shooting numbers also, tallying 40.6 percent from the field, just 14.3 percent from the 3-point line and 66.7 percent from the free throw line.
Ryan Rollins, however, showed out much more effectively in his 29.5 minutes per game for the Herd. Rollins averaged 16.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.5 turnovers and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 42.8 percent from the field, 39.7 percent from the 3-point line and 68.8 percent from the free throw line.
So, of the three two-way players the Milwaukee Bucks have, Stanley Umude has the most potential, followed by Ryan Rollins and Jaylin Galloway.
